The way to have fancy shell behaviour enabled for new users is to put fancy configuration files in /etc/skel. That way they go into new users' home directories and can be modified if the user is sufficiently sophisticated.
/etc/profile, /etc/zsh/zshrc, and other files of that ilk should almost always be empty or non-existent. You have to remember that they're not merely defaults: they apply to *everyone*. Don't use them. -- compinit -U in /etc/zsh/zshrc is unfriendly to fpath users https://launchpad.net/bugs/16759 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
