Re: [cwe-lug] ~/bin in PATH - where?

I belive it would be a big security no-no to have it first or before /bin if your account on the computer could be accessed by anyone "untrusted" because any command could be modified for good or evil in ~/bin and it would be found before the "real" command in /bin (which would take root access to modify).

 Where should ~/bin be in one's PATH?

 Should ~/bin be in the beginning, at the end, or somewhere in the
 middle, or should it not be in PATH at all?  I have my opinion, but I'm
 curious to know about other's.


i put mine at the end.
