COMMENT(!MOD!zsh/newuser
|
|
Arrange for files for new users to be installed.
|
|
!MOD!)
|
|
The tt(zsh/newuser) module is loaded at boot if it is
|
|
available, the tt(RCS) option is set, and the tt(PRIVILEGED) option is not
|
|
set (all three are true by default). This takes
|
|
place immediately after commands in the global tt(zshenv) file (typically
|
|
tt(/etc/zshenv)), if any, have been executed. If the module is not
|
|
available it is silently ignored by the shell; the module may safely be
|
|
removed from tt($MODULE_PATH) by the administrator if it is not required.
|
|
|
|
On loading, the module tests if any of the start-up files tt(.zshenv),
|
|
tt(.zprofile), tt(.zshrc) or tt(.zlogin) exist in the directory given by
|
|
the environment variable tt(ZDOTDIR), or the user's home directory if that
|
|
is not set. The test is not performed and the module halts processing if
|
|
the shell was in an emulation mode (i.e. had been invoked as some other
|
|
shell than zsh).
|
|
|
|
If none of the start-up files were found, the module then looks for the
|
|
file tt(newuser) first in a sitewide directory, usually the parent
|
|
directory of the tt(site-functions) directory, and if that is not found the
|
|
module searches in a version-specific directory, usually the parent of the
|
|
tt(functions) directory containing version-specific functions. (These
|
|
directories can be configured when zsh is built using the
|
|
tt(--enable-site-scriptdir=)var(dir) and tt(--enable-scriptdir=)var(dir)
|
|
flags to tt(configure), respectively; the defaults are
|
|
var(prefix)tt(/share/zsh) and var(prefix)tt(/share/zsh/$ZSH_VERSION) where
|
|
the default var(prefix) is tt(/usr/local).)
|
|
|
|
If the file tt(newuser) is found, it is then sourced in the same manner as
|
|
a start-up file. The file is expected to contain code to install start-up
|
|
files for the user, however any valid shell code will be executed.
|
|
|
|
The tt(zsh/newuser) module is then unconditionally unloaded.
|
|
|
|
Note that it is possible to achieve exactly the same effect as the
|
|
tt(zsh/newuser) module by adding code to tt(/etc/zshenv). The module
|
|
exists simply to allow the shell to make arrangements for new users without
|
|
the need for invervention by package maintainers and system administrators.
