[solved] [VIM] question to vim power users about mapping

Hi,
I have just starting using map leaders in vim and I'm love it.
Here are my shortcuts but this method allow to open /etc/rc.conf only in readonly mode.
So how can I open this file to edit like su (when I open vim without sudo)? I have configured sudo to works without password.

" Fast editing 
map <leader>v :e! ~/.vimrc<cr>
map <leader>b :e! ~/.bashrc<cr>
map <leader>r :e! /etc/rc.conf<cr>

Re: [solved] [VIM] question to vim power users about mapping

I use

map ss :w !sudo tee % > /dev/null<CR>

when I open a file that needs 'sudo' for editing.

For some files I have aliases:

[karol@black ~]$ type rc
rc is aliased to `sudo vim /etc/rc.conf'
