Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-13797:
-----------------------------------------

Do we introduce any security risk by doing this? That a malicious version of ls 
has got onto the path?

Given we did the change for bin/bash, I doubt there is any risk —just need to 
be thorough.

> Remove hardcoded absolute path for ls

> Shell.java has a hardcoded path to /bin/ls which is not correct on all 
> platforms, eg. not on NixOS.
