It work OK on porteus-RAZOR latest edition but on KIOSK i have this error:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# nano x
Error opening terminal: xterm.
but nano is installed as we can see with nano -h output:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# nano -h
Usage: nano [OPTIONS] [[+LINE,COLUMN] FILE]...

Option		GNU long option		Meaning
 -h, -?		--help			Show this message

ofc we do not need a text editor in kiosk. even more - it's the last thing i would install in kiosk as text editor allows unauthorized user to change settings and this is what we are trying to avoid.

in short: text editor will never be accepted in kiosk.

ofc users can add it themselves but they do it on their own risk.
to answer your question:

Code: Select all

nano -w /etc/shadow

I understand your position and rethinking about it, i think your probably right, its not really needed for the kiosk edition.

edit: i prefer vim to nano, here are the working vim files for the kiosk edition:
