Subject: Mount problem

(Apologies for posting a LinuxPPC question to this list, but that list is
pretty much dead, and I have nowhere else to go...)
The binary of mount that came with LPPC Q4 2000 was apparently configured to
only let superuser invoke it regardless of permissions or "user" entries in
fstab. I wanted to compile an updated version myself and hopefully
./configure out this setting, but all I could find were RPMs. So I held my
nose and installed mount 2.11b via RPM.
Now it lets me decide who gets to use it via permissions, which is what I was
going for, BUT... it won't autodetect hfs partitions, even though both
/etc/filesystems and /proc/filesystems mention hfs. Reiserfs, ext2, ext3,
ISO9660, etc., are all detected and mounted without additional arguments.
I can mount hfs partitions, but only as root, and only explicitly, i.e.
"mount -t hfs /dev/foo /mnt/bar" I guess for some reason it doesn't know
about the (BitKeepers 2.4.15-pre2) kernel's (nonmodular) hfs support without
being told, while the old one somehow did.
I imagine I could fix this if I could find a mount tarball, but I've had no
luck finding one. Is there any other way around this besides kludging around
with sudo and aliases?
TIA,
Ludwig
