[-- Attachment #1 --] I was reading about new things in NetBSD, and one thing caught my attention: per-user /tmp. See http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20080714_0251.html for example. Google says that a discussion about magic symlinks happens every now and then in FreeBSD but nothing really gets done. I found this implementation which looks like it's for 7.0: http://butcher.heavennet.ru/patches/kernel/magiclinks/ As far as I understand the VFS (which isn't much...) this looks like an trivial patch, and it's compatible with NetBSD. Since I'm interested in this (specifically for the per-user /tmp and maybe similar gadgetry), I'd like to nurse this patch into the tree, if there are no objections (of course, I'll bug anyone I can find who knows VFS to review it :) ).
