Re: vi secure

Does one of the following files enables secure mode?
/etc/vi.exrc
$HOME/.nexrc
$HOME/.exrc
.nexrc
.exrc

Those are the vi-startup files (as stated by the manpage)

Recently started using vi macros.

When attempting to use one which accessed the external shell, got the following

Are you running vi as root? I believe that will automatically set secure mode.
