No, it still only tells you the current working directory, not the search path for starting applications. (pwd = Print Working Directory). Applications in the current directory will only be started if either a) You start them with ./filename (recommended) b) You have . in your search path (not recommended due to security implications) > It was not a problem before, but I have upgraded Linux SuSE 7.2 to 9.0 > maybe it's down to a change in the version? All UN*X:es work the same way. No point in changing only because of this. But it is possible the security of your previous installation had been relaxed to have . in the default search path.
