Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.2-9
Severity: normal
If I sudo -s when I exit the shell, I get the message:
zsh: can't write history file /home/brian/.zsh_history
This seems strange, as I thought I had root priviledges.
More importantly though, when I create a new (non-root) session, I get
the following message[1]:
supportcompinit:447: permission denied: /home/brian/.zcompdump
mv: overwrite `/home/brian/.zcompdump', overriding mode 0600? y
I suspect on certain occasions, the .zcompdump file is being replaced
with a root owned file when sudo to root. Unfortunately I cannot
reproduce this on demand. Nor am I really sure what this file is
used for.
Note:
[1] actually the first message was:
/home/brian/.zshrc:bindkey:279: warning: `bindkey -m' disables multibyte
I ommited this to prevent confusion, I still need to work out mulitbyte
support and get the function keys working again.
