Hi,
I noticed that no matter where I set ZDOTDIR env variable,
zsh-newuser-install will always look for $HOME/.z* files and shows the new
user message and prompt. But I can press 'q' and it will then source
$ZDOTDIR files and everything works from there. but every new shell (via
ssh) or terminal i open the new user prompt shows up.
I have set ZDOTDIR env variable in the following files and in
zsh-newuser-install the variable is not set.
ones i had to create
/etc/zprofile
/etc/zshenv
/etc/zshrc
this one was already present
/etc/zsh/zprofile
DISTRO: Archlinux

zsh-newuser-install has been looking for $ZDOTDIR before $HOME
since 2005 at least.
Chances are the global zshenv file isn't called /etc/zshenv in your
build. Check that . «strings =zsh | grep zshenv» or «strace -e file zsh
-fc : 2>&1 | grep zshenv» should find it.
Setting $ZDOTDIR in the global zprofile or zshrc isn't expected to work
as these are sourced _after_ zsh-newuser-install is run. [Citation:
Src/init.c:run_init_scripts().]
Cheers,
Daniel
