i think you should try exporting the terminal type..
or maybe export EDITOR=vi
Thanks , I have done that already , the problem is still persists. with root id it is working fine, using normal user it is not working

Do you have permissions to read/edit the file? Do you have permission to create a new file in the current/target directory?
Yes I have , I have created new user, as per my understanding every user has right to create file in his home directory,
I have checked with same permission on another server also , it is working,
dont know why ti?
any idea?

Manoj,
I am sure it will through some error...Please post that.
But generally if it is permission denied..if so please check the /tmp and /var/tmp size and the permissions.
try to create a file in /tmp. That will answer the permissions issue. /tmp is open to everyone.
Thanks, but currently /tmp has following permissions
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Jun 2 09:18 /tmp.

Manoj.
Root normally has an additional 5% disk space for administrative tasks. Are you out of disk space on your volumes?
