   User can mount nfs f/s, can't umount it.

   From: mds@bogus.nodomain.nowhere   
      
   I've been mounting one Linux host on another across the LAN forever,   
   and umounting same, always as plain user.   
      
      
   In Slack 15, I can mount another host via nfs but I can't umount it.   
      
      enoch% mount /mnt/bogus   
      
      enoch% umount /mnt/bogus   
      umount.nfs: You are not permitted to unmount /mnt/bogus   
      
   I have to become root to umount it.   
      
      
   /etc/fstab: Same problem with either of these   
      
        bogus:/  /mnt/bogus  nfs  noauto,user,rw,hard,intr   0 0   
      
        bogus:/  /mnt/bogus  nfs  noauto,users,rw,hard,intr   0 0   
      
   mount(8) manpage:   
      
          Non-superuser mounts   
      
          Normally, only the superuser can mount filesystems. However,   
          when fstab contains the user option on a line, anybody can   
          mount the corresponding filesystem.   
          .....   
          Only the user that mounted a filesystem can unmount it   
          again. If any user should be able to unmount it, then use users   
          instead of user in the fstab line.   
      
   I don't see anything in manpaages for nfs(5), mount.nfs(8), fstab(5),   
   umount(8) that helps.   
      
   What has changed in 15?  How do I revert to former behavior?
