Not on my system, a user writeing to mtab no way..
Mount writes to mtab not the user.
mtab must not be writeable for a user, it could be thats up to you if you
want a "user" to edit your configuration files.
ls -al /etc/mtab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 133 Nov 26 09:27 /etc/mtab
The relavant line from /etc/fstab (which is also -rw-r--r--)
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
mount should be -rwsr-xr-x
What you are saying is your mount program had the wrong permissions in the
first place.
