How does this change relate to bin/11031?

The above patches weren't written by me, but by a co-worker of
mine.  It allows for a termcap-like configuration file /etc/mountcap
that allows you to specify a mountpoint/device, options, and filesystem
formats to try.

But best of all it allows you to check the ownership of a file or
device to see if the user is logged in on console.  For workstations
that need user mounts you really don't want non-console users to
futz with the removable media devices.

Just wanted to remind ya all it was there.
