yes, but don't you think there is a difference between place specific code somewhere or give the possibility to override standard commands? that's against the main reason why . is *not* in $PATH while on a windows console every random binary in the currecnt directory overrides commands [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ mkdir test i could rm -rf ~/ here [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/mkdir #!/bin/bash echo "i could rm -rf ~/ here" __________________________________________________________________ and so that *must not* be easy possible in a *default setup*
