Message-ID: <5l90cmijvs.fsf@tequila.cs.yale.edu> (raw)
Am I the only one that keeps getting annoyed by the sequence in which startup
files are read ? It seems to be especially designed to make it easy for the
sysadmin to come up with a setup that is painful to override by users.
As a user and a syadmin who cares about users who like to override the
sysadmin's decisions, I think it should be changed. Instead of something like
/etc/zshenv ~/.zshenv /etc/zprofile ~/.zprofile /etc/zshrc ~/.zshrc ...
I suggest
/etc/zshenv /etc/zprofile /etc/zshrc /etc/zlogin ~/.zshenv ~/.zprofile ...
This way the sysadmin can put in /etc/zprofile commands that should only be
executed at login time without having to worry about interference with the
user's ~/.zshenv settings.
And this way, when the sysadmin (or RedHat package maintainers) decide to put
bogus PATH and umask settings in /etc/zshrc it won't override my ~/.zprofile
choices.
