Package: libc Version: 4.6.27-6 #define _PATH_DEFPATH "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:." This should read "/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin", without the "." entry. Quite apart from the security implications, teaching new users always to run their programs with "./foo" will stop them getting very confused when they call their programs "test" :-).
