FYI -- This appears to affect Debian's mailx as well.

this will be kinder to software needing to parse package names.

The `checksecurity' script should probably ignore NFS filesystems, or at least
NFS filesystems which are mounted nodev (nosuid || noexec).
Otherwise this can have miserable effects esp. when the path to the NFS server
crosses 14.4Kbps links.

think *something* ought to be there.
Actually I see now it is a kernel version issue: 1.2.13 calls
/usr/bin/genksyms, while 1.3.47 calls /sbin/genksyms. What to do?

suid root, they should also probably go in /bin or
/usr/bin rather than /sbin? I'd prefer /usr/bin, but either would be fine.
Thanks.

and directories to be the same as the user who mounted the filesystem. So, it
doesn't work well to require root to mount an SMB filesystem for a user (say,
the user's home directory on an SMB server) because all the files will
effectively be owned by root.

find it in /sbin. I made a symlink to pacify my system, but perhaps it should
really be moved there?

NB: This version doesn't address the umount -n issue.
Date: 14 Dec 95 08:50 UT
Source: mount
Binary: mount
Version: 2.5-2
Description:
mount: mount, umount, swapon, and swapoff.
Priority: Low
Changes:
* Added /usr/doc/copyright information
* Added libc5 dependency
* Enhanced one error
best that `umount' be as flexible as possible. I've sent
a request to the util-linux maintainers to see why they changed it and if the
option can be restored.
Thanks.

As long as I've been updating the mount package, I have a question:
The mount package contains a configuration file /etc/fstab.sample. Would it
not be better to include this file in /usr/doc/examples, or does something
actually depend on it being in /etc?

that it prints appropriate error
messages. Also the install program needs to be fixed so that it won't
let the user make silly mistakes like this.
