The answers fell into two categories:
1) Use sudo from www.courtesan.com.
2) Write a wrapper program for mount.
One person also mentioned copying mount and umount to smount and
sumount, and using a script to drive them with the proper arguments.
This seemed pretty insecure to me. We'll most likely go the sudo route,
at least until a c program wrapper to mount arrives (promised by one of
the respondees).
Cheers,
