Mount points are directories, but whether these particular directories
have been used as mountpoints or are just (empty?) leftovers from some
process at some time might be illustrated by running 'ls -lartT /' or
'ls -la /net /host' to see in context when these were last modified,
and whether both have around the same timestamps .. maybe a clue there?

Couldn't hurt to run security/chkrootkit, though it can false positive.
