Module Name:    src
Committed By:   apb
Date:           Thu Oct 31 07:37:06 UTC 2013

Modified Files:
        src/sbin/mount: mount.8

Log Message:
Add a reference to secmodel_extensions(9), to make it a little easier to
figure out how to enable mounts for unprivileged users.  (Why don't we
just explain vfs.generic.usermount in the mount(8) man page?)

Also add another example of different ways in which the "special"
argument is interpreted by different file systems: mount_tmpfs(8)
ignores it.
