Porting libmount from util-linux



Hi folks,

I mentioned this on IRC, but the list is probably a better place for
this.

I just wanted to check if libpam-mount was currently functional on
kfreebsd?

The current git has removed support for bsd/sysv mounting in favour of
libmount (provided by new util-linux), but libmount is not available
on kfreebsd which means the next version of libpam-mount will not work
on kfreebsd without some porting work.

Given that kfreebsd seems to support symlinking /etc/mtab to
/proc/mounts just fine, it should be possible for it to use libmount;
it will however require patching util-linux to build libmount
(currently only built when mount is build, which does not happen on
kfreebsd).  This is probably just a matter of tweaking the configure
logic, or manually making the appropriate make target.


Regards,
Roger
