[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1419550, member: 110816"] Why do you need to open the editor with admin privs? If you are editing files within your home directory, you shouldn't need that. If you do need to modify things as admin, I've found using a command line editor (vi) to be the fastest and quickest. If you normally work with an editor that has admin privs all the time, you're asking for trouble should change your habits.. [/QUOTE]
