> Though I know what needs to be done, and whether or not util-linux does
"the right thing" or not doesn't matter (I say it is wrong, there is no
reason mount cannot use the standard user's path to find what it needs),
the fundamental question I've asked has not been answered. Or at least I
am not understanding Bruce's answer.
Oh now I understand. Above, I was referring to their decision to enforce
the FHS by default. There is still a way to override that setting.

AFAICT, it is not possible. Unless maybe there is a concept of persistent
and disconnected shares when using winbindd, but I don't think it is quite
that advanced, or at least I've never heard of it. I can't speculate on
Bruce's comments however, kinda threw me too. Referring to smbd and a
local mount on loopback maybe? If you have the _netdev or noauto options
in /etc/fstab, mountfs will skip the mount, and netfs will catch it after
network is up in the case of _netdev.
