There's a way to specify another TMPDIR for vi but I can't recall off the top
of my head what it is. Actually, just try...

TMPDIR=/somewhere_writable
export TMPDIR

However, do you really need vi? Can't you just echo the string into
hostname.eri0? For example...

# echo "192.168.1.1" > hostname.eri0
