[clug-talk] mounting question

[Shawn]

I'm trying to execute the following command in a script:

mount -t cifs -o username=$user,password=$pass //192.168.0.14/c$ 
$MOUNTDIR/remote

I'm getting told that only root can do this.  The local directory in 
question is owned by my user account, and I need to run the script as 
that user - not as root.

I'm trying to remove the need to use sudo and/or enter passwords here to 
help automate things....

Sooo, what am I missing?  Does my user account need to be added to a 
group so it can use mount?
