I'm not sure off hand how to go about this, perhaps some shell-wizard
will answer your post.  For those who don't get the question, I think
what it means is  1) How do you count how many subdirectories "deep" a
filesystem goes, i.e., /mnt/blah/blah1/blah2/blah3/blah4/blah5, for the
'blah' filesystem, there is a depth of 5., and 2) how do you count all
of the files in a filesystem and report which directory has the most
files in it?

Zhihui, it is likely some combination of "find" and "du".

This is set in /etc/login.conf, with the :idletime directive.  See man
login.conf for details.
