Configuring vi / vim ?

Just got a new server running Oracle Linux 6 (a derivitive of RHEL, but I'm not sure the version correlation). This is my first hands on with this verision, having worked in the past with OL 5 (as well as some older Solaris, HPUX and AIX).

Connected with putty.

When I'm editing a file in INSERT mode and paste in a several lines I've copied out of some other source (pasting from the Windows clipboard), if the pasted text includes a comment ('#') every line following will be commented and indented - and with the indent increasing on each line -- each following line indented from the previous.

Obvoiously a config issue, but I've never actually tried to do any persistent configuration for vi. After googling a bit, came to no conclusion except that I do not have the commonly reference config files - vimrc, etc.

I'm not the SA and did not actually install the machine, but I do have root access for a while.

I'm open to any pointers. Especially for exactly what to look at to compare this config to one of my other machines that behave in what I would consider a 'normal' fashion. Smilie

apache::session::oracle

Apache::Session::Oracle(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Apache::Session::Oracle(3pm)

NAME

       Apache::Session::Oracle - An implementation of Apache::Session

SYNOPSIS

	use Apache::Session::Oracle;

	#if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:

	tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
	   DataSource => 'dbi:Oracle:sessions',
	   UserName   => $db_user,
	   Password   => $db_pass,
	   Commit     => 1
	};

	#or, if your handles are already opened:

	tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
	   Handle => $dbh,
	   Commit => 1
	};

DESCRIPTION

       This module is an implementation of Apache::Session.  It uses the Oracle backing store and no locking.  See the example, and the
       documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Oracle for more details.

USAGE

       The special Apache::Session argument for this module is Commit.	You MUST provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to
       either commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing.  This feature is provided so that this module will not have
       adverse interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local database handle caching policy.	The argument is mandatory in order
       to make you think about this problem.

       This module also respects the LongReadLen argument, which specifies the maximum size of the session object.  If not specified, the default
       maximum is 8 KB.

AUTHOR

       This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>.
