We have the same situation at work, I have root on my
desktop so I'm not
allowed to NFS mount the fileserver.
But it will allow you to "su" to any user id, and mount it. That's the
problem. AUTH_DES seems to be the solution, but is not implemented on
Linux :-(
Have you looked at shfs, it allows you to mount
filesystems using ssh, so
you can just use key authentication so theres no need for passwords.
http://shfs.sourceforge.net/
I've used it on a patched kernel without probems.
Looks interesting, but the first line in the installation guide
"Warning: This is beta quality code. It was not tested on SMP machine.
Backup data before playing with it!"
is a bit scary...
