Using the terminal I tried to mount a network share, but it told me that only Root could preform that operation. So I switched to Root and tried to mount it again, but this time it told me that I didn't have permission to that share. So it lead me to believe it was trying to mount it with the Root's credentials, which wouldn't have access.
Is there a way I can perform the mount operation, but supply different credentials? Can I give a non-root user permission to the mount operation.
I have verified that all the correct files are in place and services are being run for nfs.
Forgive me if I am wrong but would that line change the permissions to nfs? And by putting it in the /etc/fstab won't that try to map that automatically at boot? Thanks for all the help.
