Allright, fair point. But to clarify, I'm not suggesting removing ~/bin from the default PATH. However, it should be added to the end of the path, not prepended to the system /bin /sbin.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">

I see no security issue in having it at the beginning of $PATH -- in fact, I use it to override program calls when I want to do something different (it is not always you can just alias, or rename, a command call). Of course, I could as well create a -- say -- ~/mybin, add it to the beginning of $PATH, and keep ~/bin at the end. But I think this would just give me more work with minimal, if at all, gain.</div>
