Allowing user to mount
Ok, I got a little problem here, I need to find a way to let a user mount a certain NFS dir make a dir in the mount unmount the dir and mount the newly created dir.
BUT depending on what user you are you will create another dir ($USERmount) this is all done by a script (the dir creating and (un)mounting but if I'm not a root I cant mount the NFS map and /etc/fstab wont help me here (I think)
Anyone got an idea how to let a user mount something or how I could bypass the "mount: you have to be root for this" message?

to allos the user to mount the partition add "user" to the options, in the fstab (I think it's user) If not it's users.
as for write access, this needs to be setup on the nfs server with rw access, and rw specified in the fstab options"I am not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings"
