Slashes in file names

[Colin Dente]

Forgive my ignorance in all this, but how *does* nfs create these
files with slashes in their names?  It seems rather strange that nfs
doesn't go through the kernel to do it (and hence get pulled up short
by namei() etc.)  Perhaps this should go to comp.nfs.clueless, but I
really don't understand!
