Problems with mutt, nano and useradd

Post #1 of 4 (239 views)

I've added a couple of new users to my system, mainly to help keep all my
website hosting crap straight and organized.

I'm having a problem though with using nano via mutt.

< http://joseph-a-nagy-jr.us/~jnagyjr/images/png/mail-error/mail-01-error.png >

Then when I start typing,

< http://joseph-a-nagy-jr.us/~jnagyjr/images/png/mail-error/mail-02-error.png >

and when I exit mutt I get the following lines of message on the console:

< http://joseph-a-nagy-jr.us/~jnagyjr/images/png/mail-error/mail-03-error.png >

What's going on? I've tried setting the EDITOR variable to /usr/bin/vim but
it's just ignored.

Okay, editing profile.env solved the error, but not the original problem (I
added "export EDITOR='/usr/bin/vim'" to it).

EDITOR is defined in /etc/rc.conf (and explicitly taken from there in
/etc/profile).

ps:
$ head /etc/profile.env
# THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY env-update.
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. CHANGES TO STARTUP PROFILES
# GO INTO /etc/profile NOT /etc/profile.env

Yeah, I edited those two as well.
