In my mind, this is a good scheme. Not the only one possible, but I see advantages in using it. Putting "." in PATH is a security issue that a learning programmer should understand. The difference between an unpriviledged user and root should also be understood. Avoiding shadowing of system utilities is a general principle that a learning programmer should also think about. > BTW, today was my last day as a sysadmin at tau.

I mean, I have never been a sysadmin at TAU but I think about these issues... ;-) -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.goldshmidt.org ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
