+# Traditionally Slackware has included '.' at the end of the non-root
+# $PATH, and kept this behavior long after it had been dropped elsewhere
+# due to the relatively low attack risk by having it at (or near) the
+# end of the $PATH. But times have changed, and having this as a default
+# violates POLA (principle of least astonishment) just like removing it
+# back in the early 90s would have. So, by default this script is not
+# enabled. If you'd like '.' back at the end of your $PATH for non-root
+# users systemwide, make this script executable. A better choice is
+# probably to leave it off and let individual users decide to add it
+# in their local profile scripts if they want it. Even better is just
+# to start programs in '.' with ./program, like most of us have been
+# doing for years.
+
+# For non-root users, add the current directory to the search path:
+if [ ! "`id -u`" = "0" ]; then
+ PATH="$PATH:."
