enable modeline in vim

[Victor Sudakov]

Colleagues,

Do you know how to enable modelines in vim running from root? Even if
I put "set modeline" in /root/.vimrc, the output of ":set modeline?"
still shows "nomodeline". At the same time, "set modeline" in ~/.vimrc
works for all other accounts except root.

Someone has protected the root account so tightly that I cannot even
shoot myself in the leg. Do you know how I could override this
protection?
