> But think of things like "lls" or "lsl" or similar. Very good point. Typos could be dangerous if the current directory is in the path. I know a lot of people make a bunch of aliases that cover most typos and have them do the appropriate thing. I always kind of thought of this as a convenience, but now I see that it has good security implications, too. At any rate, I always just type ./ myself anyway.
