Check the /etc/vim/vimrc file.  This is the system-wide defaults file
that vim uses.

This is where you should set things like nocindent, etc.  You should
also check for a .exrc, though.  Vim will also read that.

Another helpful thing, to determine what *is* set, is to start up vim
and then type ':set'.  This will display current settings.
