are you not concerned about the possibility that your box has been
"hacked into"?
anyway, check the output of:
file `which mount`
and if that says anything else than
/sbin/mount: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
particularly if it says something similar to
/sbin/mount: Bourne shell script text executable
then you were compromised, and reinstalling /sbin/mount won't help
you.
