mount/umount as non root user

Hello Guys

I need help on mount/umount vxfs file system as non root user?
Is it possible in Solaris 10,a non root user can mount/umount VxFS?

Thanks in Advance.

You might try investigating the freeware package called "sudo". It
allows you to selectively delegate "Root Powers" to various users for
specific tasks.

Search the web, or visit www.sunfreeware.com.

I don't know VxFS, but in /etc/security/prof_attr is a profile named
"File System Management", which
contains /sbin/mount as a command.

ppriv -l shows the privilege sys_mount.
That could also be used as a privilege in /etc/user_attr.

For my user I've added the dtrace-privileges.
