It could happen by accident. A user might put a program in ~/bin that happens to have the same name as one in /usr/bin that the user is unaware of, and it might break other programs which call that command without a full pathname. Editing ~/.ssh/config affects only SSH, and isn't likely to break something unrelated. That's one reason why I'm not convinced that this change is a good idea. It obviously has nothing to do with security though. It's a matter of safety, which is different from security. Björn Persson
