This means: if userid is not equal to 0 (i.e. user is not root), add
current dir to the path. Having . in the path when you're root is
BAD. Think about it and try to figure out why.

i don't know the exact answer to this but may be it then acts as some kind of
security hole in the system

I will try to find exact reason.
