Please, learn how to quote. The quoted paragraph is from "Compatibility"
section and applies if zsh was called as sh e.g. by symlinking to it.
The "usual" zsh startup scripts are zshenv, zprofile, zshrc and zlogin
in this order (and corresponding private ones of course). So, if you
mean, that on your system you linked /bin/sh to zsh - then you are right
of course.

I know. But on Mandrake both are setup to source files from
/etc/profile.d. I speak about Mandrake, not about some virtual zsh.
I don't know (and care) about (t)csh, to be honest, but bash and

FYI for zsh you have it in /etc/zshrc.

About zsh? Wow! :-)
Have you ever tested it?
bor@localhost% print $ZSH_VERSION
4.0.1-pre-4
bor@localhost% grep PROFILE_LOADED /etc/profile
PROFILE_LOADED=1
bor@localhost% print $PROFILE_LOADED?
- nothing -
