DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER WILL ROBINSON! If . (dot) is in your path at all, make sure it is LAST, and don't EVER do this for root. You don't want to accidentally pick up a "user-created" script in place a real utility. Imagine what happens if the user has a "rm" script in the current dir, and "rm" contains "rm -rf /*" and you happen to be root at the time. Don't do it. Wouldn't be prudent. --d b ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
