zsh is a very powerful shell. It uses a syntax like sh, bash, ksh. The current /etc/zshrc doesn't source /etc/profile.d/alias.sh. It would be nice if /etc/zshrc (gets read in by each new zsh) had a line like: if [[ -f /etc/profile.d/alias.sh ]] then . /etc/profile.d/alias.sh fi /etc/zshrc is part of the zsh RPM. -- Randy Hron = Linux - because it's all about freedom = !
