NFS mount issues
 
I have a read-write nfs partition that I mount using
"mount 192.168.1.1:/nfs/ /mnt/nfs/" and then I enter the password.
Anyone (normal-user & root) can read-write this mount partition.

I was wondering how can I add it in /etc/fstab
so that it automatically mount when the server reboots without asking for a username and password.

Also, is there any issues that might occur if I try to mount
it during boot time? I am trying to think of different
scenarios for risk analysis.

Thanks.

What's the OS on the machine offering up the mount? I use the /etc/exports on my *nix servers to only allow certain servers to mount filesystems. I'm not sure how you'd password protect that but if you can remove that feature then you can lock down the availability of the mount. I run an app called OmniNFS to export NFS shares from Windows servers and it has the same trusted host feature.
