Re: Avoid LDAP hit during completion

[lists <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
    Is there anything in your $fpath that might cause this?  Is your  
'cd' a function or alias of your own design?  First try cd-ing after  
issuing 'zsh -f'.  That should work.  I don't know offhand why cd  
would make a call to LDAP as 'chown<TAB>' or 'ls -l' would.

Regards,
Ryan
