yup but here we speak about default configuration of basic user. but
here is my update for aliases (at least for bourne shell) on mandrake :
# If exist a ~/.alias and the user hasn't specified a
# LOAD_SYSTEM_ALIAS variables then don't do any system aliases
# If there is no ~/.alias but the user has specified a
# IGNORE_SYSTEM_ALIASES then don't do any system aliases.

yep normally but some thing need to let the user do it.
