zsh compinit: insecure directories

Question

What does it mean and how can I fix it?

zsh compinit: insecure directories, run compaudit for list.
Ignore insecure directories and continue [y] or abort compini         


        

Answer 1

I got the same warnings when I sudo -i starting a root shell, @chakrit's solution didn't work for me.

But I found -u switch of compinit works, e.g. in your .zshrc/zshenv or where you called compinit

compinit -u

NB: Not recommended for production system
