i have started using zsh recently. all is wonderful (i am very happy
about
xterm title bars, works wonders for gnome users) except one difference
between zsh and bash which i cannot eliminate.
file name completion works under bash even for nsf file systems but not
under zsh.
for example, issuing
ls /hosts/other_machine/exported_directory/<TAB>
under bash I would be able to see the subdirectories, but under zsh not.
is this something that can be configured with compctl and if yes, how?
thank you,
virgil

I have no problem under NFS. Perhaps it's due to automounted directories?

you might want to try messing around with your options; i really doubt that
the problem has anything to do with nfs - we use nfs to mount netapps and
other filesystems on almost all of our machines, and i've never had a problem
with completion.
you might try:
bash_auto_list
no_menu_complete
no_auto_menu
that's what i have.
are there a lot of files in the directory you're trying to look at? i was
testing this out and it did take a while to get to:
zsh: do you wish to see all 266 possibilities (67 lines)?
- so it might just be taking a while to figure out all the files / directory
names. if you are using color ls or 'ls -F' or anything you might try
/bin/ls /hosts/other_machine/exported_directory/<TAB>
and see if that's any speedier.
