Yes, for me with the following settings for the files, it
logs after
saving and exiting from vi editor.


How do you open the file? With the open system call or the fopen
subroutine?

Can you run the:

ls -i trace.log

command and give the i-node number of the file before and
after the vi
save?

Is the file local or on a network drive?

Also, you may want to run the strace command on the vi
session when the program is run as 'root' and when run as
'test' to see what the difference.

Redirect standard error to a file since strace writes its
output to standard
error:

strace vi trace.log 2> strace.out

then compare the strace.out on vi run as root to the
strace.out on vi run as test. See if you can spot a
difference. It's not easy. That may be a long shot but ...

That's all I can help you out with. Maybe somebody more
knowledgeable on the list knows why it would do that.
