I couldn't find time to finish nmount and I'm the only one to blame here. I'm not even particularly happy with how nmount(2) looks right now. I wanted to remove nmount from the CVS repository, and suggested that to Poul, since I wrote this code under his guidance some time ago now. He didn't want me to remove the code so I just left it as is. Cheers, Maxime
