Hopefully a simple question...

[Brian Burns]

Thanks to all who contribute to this list for us "newbies" to Linux. Hopefully I can contribute back one day.   Here is the scenario:   I have an executable in /USR/LOCAL/SBIN called TCPDUMP.   When I am in the dir in a shell logged in as ROOT, I can only execute the program by typing ./TCPDUMP instead of just TCPDUMP. The same goes for perl scripts.   Am I missing something here or is this normal behavior?   Thanks,   A confused newbie
