1 hmm, i wonder why mount.nfs is set*id. if we require everyone to use `mount`,
2 there's no need for `mount.nfs` to be set*id. someone want to point out
3 something obvious that i'm missing before i adjust the nfs-utils package ?

5 along these lines, why is cdrtools set*id ? if we have a "cdrom" group, and
6 we assign our cdroms/dvdroms to that group, then we already have access
7 control in place and can skip the set*id.
