Watch out for Nomad you guys.
Weak. Let's get some discussion going on here. Surely someone has some 
questions that need to be answered, I know I do.

Hopefully that is the end of the flames but I know someone will have 
something to say.

Now for my question. I am looking for a way to hide files under unix. I 
know that all the information is kept in dirent structures found in 
dirent.h but I have been toying around and have not been successfully able 
to accomplish this task. I spoke with someone the other day and they told 
me that I needed to edit the inode tables in the  superblock (I think 
that's what he said, sounds crazy) and remove the inode from the available 
list so that the file will not be overwritten. The only thing I am worried 
about is that they file might get big enough to go over into other inodes 
that will later be allocated and used. Does anyone know anything about 
this or have files pertaining to it. I would really appreciate it.
