Hello. Quoting from Francisco Reyes (Sun Aug 27 05:54:44 1995): > I created a small c program and placed it on $HOME/bin since this > was on the path. When I ran the program from $HOME the > program did nothing. If you use csh, be sure you typed "rehash" adter installing the new binary. > If I change to the same directory where the > program is then it works (I don't remember, but I think I had to > use ./ to run it also). "." is not in the path. > Are there any drawbacks to adding . (current directory) to the > path? Yes. Security concerns tell us not to do it :) Bye, -- # $Id: .signature,v 1.12 1995/08/14 12:10:54 piero Exp $ Piero Serini Via Giambologna, 1 <Piero@Free.IT> I 20136 Milano - ITALY
