Before you're running `compinit', the function-based completion system is *NOT* online yet. Zsh will fall back to the older compctl system. > mango% compinit > mango% cd In > > No reaction on tab anymore. When you say "no reaction" do you mean that zsh eats up all CPU or does it actually hang without and CPU utilisation at all? > But this only happens for *one* user that uses a home directory on NFS. If NFS is in play it could also be bad performance with certain options. Does the shell hang or does completion just take a very very long time? As in "minutes"? > Neither with root nor with a local user I can reproduce this. > > Tab completion worked for the NFS user as well before. I can fix it by > uncommenting compinit from his .zshrc. Sounds weird. Can't identify a reason off hand. > This is the .zshrc of the user, but as said it also does not work > with the system admin recommended one. [...] There is nothing in there, that would cause that I think. The other files (zshenv, zprofile, zlogin - global and user-only) are empty, I presume?

My *guess* is that something triggers user-name lookups which may take a very long time with a lot of users in networked environments. But like I said, it's a guess for now... Sorry for taking so long. I'm pretty swamped with other work right now. I hope the other guys from the maintenance team will chime in. ;-) Regards, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
