mount: remount doesn't care about loop=
The command
# mount -oremount <spec> <dir>
doesn't read fstab or mtab. This is expected behaviour. Unfortunately,
we have to care about the internal loop= option which is generated and
maintained by mount(8)/umount(8). The loop= option has to be persistent.
How to reproduce this bug:
# mount -o loop /home/images/vfat.img /mnt/img; grep vfat /etc/mtab; \
mount -o remount,ro /home/images/vfat.img /mnt/img; grep vfat /etc/mtab;

login: audit log injection attack via login
A while back I found a couple audit log injection attacks which became
CVE-2007-3102. I forgot to look at login to see if its vulnerable and Mirek
found that it is. To verify the problem, type:
root addr=xyz.com
for the account name while logging in. It will look like root logged in with
an address of xyz.com.

mount: remove built-in support for background mounts
EX_BG is archaism from old integrated NFS code. The built-in NFS code
has been removed in the previous version and all "bg" stuff is handled
by /sbin/mount.nfs. It seems we can remove all "bg" stuff from
mount(8).

build-sys: add VARSUFFIX to UTIL_CHECK_LIB
The UTIL_CHECK_LIB macro follows the default autoconf behaviour and
generates have_<libname> and HAVE_LIB<LIBNAME> variables.
Some libraries are substitutional (e.g. ncurses and ncursesw). It would be
nice to generate for that libraries the same HAVE_ variables independently
on a library name.
This patch adds optional VARSUFFIX option to UTIL_CHECK_LIB, so the final
variables are have_<varsuffix> and HAVE_LIB<VARSUFFIX>.
For example:
UTIL_CHECK_LIB(yyy, func) generates have_yyy and HAVE_LIBYYY
UTIL_CHECK_LIB(yyy, func, xxx) generates have_xxx and HAVE_LIBXXX
