_mount linux centric?

[Jason Price <jprice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

_mount under solaris doesn't work.  It gives an error of:

_mount:758: no such file or directory: /etc/mtab

Mainly because the same file is called /etc/mntab rather than /etc/mtab.

I'm not good enough to translate the function.  However the format is very
similar:

>From the man page for mnttab under solaris 8 (and I believe it's good
going back to at least solaris 2.6.):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Each entry is a line of fields separated by  spaces  in  the
     form:

          special   mount_point   fstype   options   time

     where

     special
           The name of the resource to be mounted.

     mount_point
           The pathname of the directory on which the  filesystem
           is mounted.

     fstype
           The file system type of the mounted file system.

     options
           The mount options. (See respective mount  file  system
           man page in SEE ALSO.)

     time  The time at which the file system was mounted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And under debian it seems to be:

	special   mount_point   fstype   options   ???   ???

So the conversion SHOULD be simple...  However s,/etc/mtab,/etc/mnttab,g
didn't work.
