Mount permissions for normal users

How can I give a regular user the permission to mount a certain volume (in Solaris)?  In linux you can add "users" to the options in the fstab, but I can't find anything similar in Solaris.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

In Solaris you have to have root privileges to mount file systems.

You could use a little utility like sudo (SwitchUser do).
 With sudo you can alow a specified user to execute a specified command (mount) on a specified host.

Depends whether these are NFS mounts or local mounts. If local mounts, then why not have these mounted all the time?

Otherwise, use the automount facility. If you want an explanation of this just shout.
