Well, no, that's a little strong. No *new* security hole, maybe. It would be on the order of having ./ in the PATH for root, and getting trapped by a hacker who named his rootkit "ls" or "pwd". I.e., it puts the onus on the caller user of determining what file is really being accessed and what's really in it before it's ever opened for default action. So it's an insecurity that produces an annoyance that maybe could be handled by the webbrowser.py module... --Blair -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
