Yes, for once SCO did something right. The system Jonathan describes
from Athena shows up (presumably independtly) in SCO Unix/386, where
the systerm administrator can set up "symbolic" names for filesystems,
along with all their mount options, should they be fsck-ed, etc, etc.
and a command pair (mnt and umnt, I recall) that lets any user (this
is controllable too, I think) mount fsystems that are so defined. I
actually like this a lot, and its the first thing about SCO's unix
I've found that really should be emulated by one and all.
