Or you need to have an entry in /etc/fstab with the 'user' option.
Like:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,ro,exec,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,noexec,noauto 0 0
Or for example, I (as a regular user) smbmount these
//hank/brian /mnt/hank/brian smbfs noauto,user,exec 0 0
//hank/slash /mnt/hank/slash smbfs noauto,user,exec 0 0
with a bit of magic in my $HOME/.bash_profile file:
if [ ! -d /mnt/hank/brian/data ]; then
smbmount //hank/brian /mnt/hank/brian -o username=brian%$PASSWD
fi
if [ ! -d /mnt/hank/slash/boot ]; then
smbmount //hank/slash /mnt/hank/slash -o username=brian%$PASSWD
fi
The tests for the known sub-directories prevents multiple mounts...
HTH!
