Not only that your ./test would have worked as expected, but also you'll never miss it again if there's no dot in your $PATH. At least root should never have dot in the path (to avoid Trojan Horse attacks). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
