Because, as someone today on this list mentioned, simple
users have no business (u)mounting drives. How'd you like
on of your users logged on remotely umounting your nfs?

BTW, about nxterms: I just removed suid from the binary,
no problem: it simply does't make an entry in utmp which
is lame anyway: If I am running X with 5 xterms, why do I
need to see myself 5 times when I do `who'?
