If you are not root, no so much issue. If you are root and especially
sysadmin, you
must avoid it, surely with the path proposed in other emails, . (dot)
being the first one in
the path.

For instance, if I ask you to run "ls" while being in "/tmp" or in my
home, would you do it?
I hope not, if you have "." at the beginning of your path ;-)
