Zsh often ends up using /etc/profile or the equivalent.  On Gentoo, 
for example, /etc/zsh/zprofile sources /etc/profile.env.  On OpenSUSE, 
/etc/zprofile sources /etc/profile.

No good ideas, other than /etc/zsh/zprofile or /etc/zprofile (whatever 
systemwide profile file your Zsh was compiled to search for).

What distribution is it?
