zsh and /etc/profile

Hello,

I just tried to get zsh running "as i wish", this includes loading /etc/profile.
of some reason, /etc/profile isn't loaded using zsh. That's why some global environment variables are not set (ORACLE_HOME in example).

Does anyone have a suggestion how to get this loaded?

Appending /etc/profile to the .zshrc or .zprofile also doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
STi

zsh uses /etc/zsh/zprofile, methinks.
