Thanks to the folks who responded to my question:

Hope I didn't forget anyone.

Sounds like gnu find may be the best way to deal with this
problem. Apparently gnu find has a -maxdepth option.

Brad provided an interesting solution for looking 1 or 2
layers deep with solaris find:

For examining the current directory:
find . ! -name . -prune -print

... and for examining the directories beneath the current
directory:
find ./.??*/.??* ./*/* ./.??*/* ./*/.??* ! -name . -prune -print

Here's the original question:
