ultrix 4.x also allows nonroot users to mount NFS filesystems, if I remember
right. Shiver...

Correct Ultrix allows users to mount NFS filesystems (without setuid enabled).
Ultrix does try to do ownerchecking to make sure you are not overmounting
anything that you shouldn't, however atleast under 4.2a it does not check the
owner correctly for a mountpoint that is within AFS.
To disallow mounting by normal users, you can do
kvar -s turn_off_usrmnt -wl -v 1 /vmunix
(see the kvar man page for more details)
