General :: Why Is It Bad To Add '.' To PATH?
Aug 26, 2010
I've read one explanation saying it can allow malicious executables that are in the cwd to run in place of similarly named built-ins and core utilities.For something to wreak true havoc, wouldn't this only apply to root? And in any case, if '.' were appended to PATH instead of prepended, shouldn't that circumvent this "replacement" attack, since PATH's directories are scanned in order? (Aren't they scanned in order?)Are there any other issues besides this one?

I found the following function in /etc/profile file.
[Code]...
1. I dont undestand what "if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -qE "(^|:)$1($|:)"" this if statement actually comapres??
2. Also what is the difference between PATH=$PATH:$1 & PATH=$1:$PATH

I use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.

I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?

Current script:-
prefix=user@my-server:
find . -depth -type d -name .git -printf '%h�' | while read -d "" path ; do (
cd "$path" || exit $?
[code]....
How shall i go about changing the absolute path to relative path, so that /home/git/mirror/android/adb/ndk.git gets converted to /mirror/android/adb/ndk.git //echo <command> "$prefix$PWD.git" ?? - anything for relative path?

When I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:
#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.

Does anyone know how to get the path with a inode number by C programming?
Or can I get the absolute path without giving a "path" but a inode number by C?
like this: get_path(unsigned inode);
not such this function: getcwd(".", xxx);

I'm using my Linux (SLES 10) server as a File Server at this point. I need to set File Permissions to nested folders differently to different groups. For example:
homesharedengineering* should be read only for groupA
homesharedengineeringadmin should be read & write for groupB Plus read only for groupA
homesharedengineeringautocad should be read & write for groupC Plus read only for groupA
I've been using Webmin and Putty to set permissions but Putty only allows me the Default Group, it won't allow me to set several groups on the same directory. Webmin seems to allow me to add multiple groups (Webmin --> Others --> File Manager --> Info & ACL tab will provide extended abilities) but when I add multiple groups, they don't seem to take effect? I'm wondering if my setup at the 'Share' level or at the hierarchy of my folder structure (unix based) needs to be set specifically?

running Windows 7 64bit with VMware Workstation 7.01-build 227600. I have some knowledge of Linux, I have installed f12 and have updated the system as of 03/22/2010. All updates completed successfully.
1) How do I install VMTools on the f12 (after mounting the CD/DVD tool package)
2) How do I update the gcc files it says are dependencies?
Here's what I get on installation:Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
and then I am prompted for this input from the install script:
Searching for GCC...
The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
and this is where I get stuck. How do I get around this or satisfy the requirements for the install?

If I try "shutdown" as a normal user on Debian it give the "command not found" error. OK it's not in my PATH. But if I "sudo shutdown" it works. Somehow sudo seems to change my PATH.
Do the same in Slackware however and sudo makes no difference, I get "command not found" each time.

I am trying to zip a directory but when I zip and unzip it, it contains the whole path of the variable "album". I would just like to zip the last folder in the path. Here is what I have now. I tried basename but that didn't seem to work, possible I just can't make it work right.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
album=/var/www/hfandt.com/artists/*/*

I create a bash script and I assign a folder variable like:
#!/bin/bash
....
Myvariable_FOLDER_PATH=/PATH/TO/SPECIFIC/SUBFOLDER
is there any way to make another variable with just the specific SUBFOLDER
(?some command?)----> will make My_variable_subfolder = SUBFOLDER
so if I do
echo $Myvariable_FOLDER_PATH
i get: /PATH/TO/SPECIFIC/SUBFOLDER
and echo $My_variable_subfolder
i get: /SUBFOLDER
The tree and path names will change so I jjust want the last subfolder that I will access to access its files.

I added a path in my bash_profile so that I could use the executables in the directory (I thought). But it turned out some other directory has the same executables and the path had already been added by the previous user. Is there way to overwrite this path? I can't find where that old path was added.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). And, my ~/.pam_environment looks like the following.
PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux
GIT_EDITOR DEFAULT=vim
MANPATH DEFAULT=${MANPATH}:~/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man
INFOPATH DEFAULT=${INFOPATH}:~/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info
But, echo $PATH returns me duplicated entries as the following.
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux
I've tried replacing DEFAULT by OVERRIDE in my ~/.pam_environment file. But, that didn't help.

I had a problem recently, where a perl script was consuming server resources. I found out it was a perl script by using "top". But it didn't give the path to the script. Nor did ps.Also, ps -ef showed that the process with that pid is /usr/bin/httpd (apache), so it must have been apache serving some perl page I suppose.Is it possible to get the path to currently running perl script, if I only know the process PID of the perl process that is running that script? If so, how? I don't need the path to the perl binary, I need the path to the perl script that binary is currently executing.

Then I use the following command:
cd ~ zip out.zip /Dir1/file1.txt /Dir2/file2.txt
In the out.zip i can see two directories (dir1 and dir2) but want only these two files (file1.txt and file2.txt) were in the root of out.zip! I thought the "-D" option is what I need, but it doesn't work
