What does the mount nosuid option do? Why would you want to use this option?

What will be an ideal response?


The nosuid option forces setuid executables in the mounted directory hier-
archy to run with regular permissions on the local system.
Giving a user the ability to run a setuid program can give that user the abil-
ity to run a program with root privileges. Normally you do not want an
ordinary user running a program as a privileged user.
