In /etc/zshenv:

What about setting of umask?  In the last discussion about this kind
of stuff you suggested that umask setting was better done in zshrc.
But shouldn't it be set correctly for non-interactive processes too?

These don't do much harm either (quoted mostly straight from Bart
anyway ;-)

  export USER=`id -un`
  export LOGNAME=$USER
  export HOSTNAME=$HOST
  
  # this only on appropriate boxes of course
  export MAIL=/var/spool/mail/$USER
  
  HISTSIZE=1000
  HISTFILE=~/.zshhistory
  SAVEHIST=1000
  
  export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
  
Is there any good reason why /sbin and /usr/sbin should not be on
every user's path by default?  They're not under RedHat, which is
infuriating when it comes to using traceroute, lsof etc.

Now here's a candidate for StartupFiles/RedHat/zshrc.  Anything badly
wrong?
