Hi, on an old *nix system the order was /usr/(s)bin /usr/local/(s)bin. So you always end up with the commands the admin configured. On newer (Linux) systems the order changed: ~/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin to give programms that the user installed a chance. The old fashion is more secure and suitable for a multiuser (server) system, the newer fashion is really usefull for a single user (home user) system. -- mdc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
