The proper way would probably be to use sudo and give all authorised
users access to running mount (that would allow you to give that ability
only to the users you want).
Hmmm... let somebody mount *arbitrary* filesystems to *arbitrary* directories? Is that what you really want Eran?
No, what *I* want is subject to >>>the obvious conditions (filesystem type kernel support, write access >>>to mount directory, access to underlying resource such as block >>>device or network) .
I agree with everything else you said. I truly hope that those that suggested "sudo" really meant "access via sudo to a specially written binary that carefully verifies all relevant access criteria" -- which is not nontrivial in this case (oh the race conditions!), but quite conceivable.
