Hi folks,

I am running FreeBSD 2.1 July SNAP.
As is, I have to use the absolute path in order to run my applications, for 
example:
./usr/local/bin/httpd
Without that dot, it does not run even though I have /usr/local/bin in my 
path.  If I add dot to my path, it works but I get the error message on 
login: Exported path has relative components.  I also realize that including 
dot in the path can be considered as a security hole.
Question:  is there any way of fixing that?  I want to be able to run things 
without memorizing their locations.  Thanks.
