I personally would say it should not. I think that making an interactive zsh behave very powerfully by default is a good idea. However, I take issue with the execution. Here's how I would implement this: Add a .zshrc file to the /etc/skel dir that includes this compinit code. Then, add post-install code to the zsh rpm that gives a copy of this rc file to all existing users that don't already have the file (for a certain restricted definition of "all existing users"). This, in my mind, is the proper way to add all those default aliases and other things that the user might want to change (for both zsh and other shells, such as bash). ..wayne..
