After installing zsh 3.0.1 on it and copying my old .zsh* files over, I noticed that in some cases it is not sourcing the .zsh* files. When I log in, it works fine. When I su to root, I normally follow this with a 'zsh -'. On this system, I noticed that my prompt didn't change to reflect root's PROMPT variable, unlike the other systems I have it installed on. I also tried 'zsh -l', 'zsh -l -i', and 'zsh -i' to no avail (in all cases the quotes are mine for clarity, not actually part of the command). After I do a '. /.zshrc', everything is fine (except for the rest of the .zsh* files). Ideas? John
