First, /nonexistant should probably not exist. It is the home
directory of the "nobody" user (uid 65534). I would just kill it `rm
-rf /nonexistant`

If it *does* exist that may not be a problem, as long as the nobody
user does not have a valid shell, but /nonexistant is used by many
system accounts so just setting the ACLs on it to `chmod -R
nobody:nobody /nonexistant` probably won't help much.
