Hello. I use grml's zsh configuration on my distro. If I run the system by runlevel 1 (or 3) and type the command ls, zsh shows the following (as a normal user the same): ;root at hostname: ls [without any line breaks] The odd thing is that when I run the shell by a terminal emulator (in my case xfce4-terminal) the output is OK. set nomail on zifumuur
