The system Jonathan describes from Athena shows up (presumably independtly) in SCO Unix/386, where the systerm administrator can set up "symbolic" names for filesystems, along with all their mount options, should they be fsck-ed, etc, etc. and a command pair (mnt and umnt, I recall) that lets any user (this is controllable too, I think) mount fsystems that are so defined. I actually like this a lot, and its the first thing about SCO's unix I've found that really should be emulated by one and all. -- Paul Barton-Davis UW Computer Science Lab "People cannot cooperate towards common goals if they are forced to compete with each other in order to guarantee their own survival."
