Description Paul Thompson 2005-09-26 23:19:40 UTC 
ls -l /sbin/mount-old-crypt
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 69423 Sep 27 02:00 /sbin/mount-old-crypt*

ls -l /bin/mount
-rws--x--x  1 root root 96858 Sep 27 02:00 /bin/mount*

This makes 'mount-old-crypt' unable to allow a user to mount things
defined in /etc/fstab as user mountable without being root, and is inconsistant 
with the permissions on 'mount'.

Also, one wonders why one executable is in /bin, and the other in /sbin.

Thanks;
