[net.unix-wizards] Directory depth limit for normal users

forrest%Shasta@SU-SCORE (03/18/83)

I believe that MKNOD is a su-only call (for creating directories) in
most systems.  The easiest way to impose a depth for
normal users may be to modify mkdir to count the number of
'/'s from the user's login path.  Since the average user can
only access MKNOD through mkdir, this should solve the problem
with no kernel hacking.
