One very obvious question is, "Is "." in your path"?

I have attempted to duplicate your problem here at SGI, but need some more
information.  Are you logging in to the same account on the console as you
are when you telnet in?  What do you get after you telnet in and type 
"echo $path".  If "." is in your path, there should be no reason why you 
cannot execute the files without having to type ./foo  If you are still 
having trouble with this, give the Product Support Group a call.  
We will resolve this if you can't.
