mkdir(2) on System V

[Eric PAIRE]

UNIX system V users may have remarqued there is no "mkdir(2)" system call. It
is replaced by "mknod(2)", but must be executed only by super-user. Why
is it necessary to be super-user for creating an own directory ?
I am very very interesting by getting an wizard answer by mail or news.
