OK. As long as they're world read, I don't care what they are, but for
possible future needs and general information, fstab probably needs
something special to mount them owned and grouped by something other
than root, which is what they are now. What is the syntax for that
inside fstab? Or is it done after the things are mounted?

I tried it and it works. These things are all world read-only, and I
did test them and they do work.

Ah, got that covered with the mod_vroot module in ProFTPD.
