We just installed the r/w optical disk on our HP9000/300 running HP-UX6.5.
We want each user to be able to have a mount point in their home directory
and mount/umount the optical disk.
Is there any way to mount/umount file system without being a superuser.
I understand mount/umount can be only executed by superuser.
We are looking for a way that we can give a user who wants to mount/umount
the optical disk superuser priviledge temporarily while mounting/unmounting
the disk.  Or is it the only way for a system administrator to do it whenever
a user asks for it?
