./ in PATH, always bad?



The Redhat machine I use at work seems to include ./ in the PATH 
variable, I can always run executables from my current directory 
without using ./ like on my home debian system.  This has always seemed 
more convenient to me and I wondered why Debian doesn't do this until I 
read that it is considered a security flaw.  Is this always so? Is 
there a way to enable this without compromising security?

Thanks,

-Dan
