[Bala S. Guthy]

Hello, I remember when I first learnt Unix, the instructor said,
that "."  should never be the first thing in one's $path. It had
something to do with a security hole in Unix. Does anyone know
what and if there is any disadvantage to having "." as the first
entry in $path.

Thank you.
