In CentOS 4, by default vi is aliased to vim.  The unaliased vi does not
have syntax highlighting.

Could it be that vi is not aliased to vim by default in CentOS 5? Run the
'alias' command to see a list of aliases.  If you want to alias vi to
vim,
just run:
alias vi=vim

I believe that root is the only user where this happens ...
