Thanks.  I've applied the last.
I'd really like to understand the ln/cp issue before applying.  And
I'm not quite ready to turn on setuid yet.  Maybe when I do that,
testing will show something.

The first patch - I have already applied that conceptually.. A lot of
the code is different as I wasn't very comfortable with what was
there.

e.g. When checking that a 'user' mount was in fstab, it just checked
that the mountpoint or filesystem was listed in fstab with the 'user'
flag. It didn't check that the mountpoint and filesystem and options all
matched.
So I think that if you put in fstab that  host:/place was allowed to
be mounted on /foo by any user, than any user could run mount.nfs
directly, ask for host:/place to be mounted on /etc and it would work.

My version is at

Thanks,
