CentOS - May 2010 - .vimrc File Disappeared and Saw vimrc and .viminfo Files in My Home Directory

Hi,

I'm not sure what's going on ;-(  updated a .vimrc file in my home
directory with some customized settings last week. I'm looking at my home
directory now, that .vimrc file disappeared for no reason and I saw a file
called vimrc and .viminfo in the home directory.  Of course, it didn't take
my customized settings when I used vim.  Is that a normal behavior? Am I missing
something here?

Thanks
Mary

Looking at http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_05.html#vimrc-intro and
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/starting.html#vimrc it doesn't seem to
be normal behavior (I don't use vim though). What does stat vimrc and stat
.viminfo show? It will give you an idea when the file this file was created. It
is quite possible that there is a system wide setting that your sysadmin setup
to source those files as the local configs.
