Zsh + YUM

[DrGlove]

Hi all, just a question regarding zsh.

In bash, I was able to list a set of packages like this:

$ yum list *package*

However, in zsh I need to escape the '*'s like this:

% yum list \*package\*

Is there any way to set zsh to run like bash in this sense? It's a little bit annoying, and I can't find much on the web regarding it.

You should be able to enclose the argument in single quotes. That works for me consistently in all shells, including zsh and bash. Ie: yum list '*package*'

FWIW, this is also good in case you have some files in your local directory that would match the pattern *package* since the single quotes won't expand the wild-cards, but will pass the string directly to yum.
