Is there an other way to do that, without specifying the './' ? yes, by making "." part of your path. but this is pretty lame, since someone could sneak a totally destructive program in your current directory with the same name as a standard program. for example, make a script called "ls" as follows: #!/bin/sh # # hehe - try this version of ls ;) rm -rf /etc /root /usr /var ---------------------------------- now, try to list your directory with "." in your path ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
