Lanman banged on their keyboard and produced the following arrangement of 
letters:
- Thanks for the suggestion, Anguo, but sudo only allows a non-root user to
- access a command for about 5 minutes, and I'd like to make this a permanent
- change. I don't want to have to "revalidate" every time I want to mount or
- unmount. If that's the case, it's just as easy to"su" to root, and run the
- mount/umount commands instead.

Well, you have received many good advices from people who obviously know much 
more than me. 

As I said I just learned to use sudo and I certainly don't know all the 
functions and uses of that command. 
However you say that "sudo only allows a non-root user to access a command 
for about 5 minutes".
The way I have set up some commands with sudo, the changes are permanent.
Usually adsl-start and adsl-stop must be run from root but I have set it up 
so that our home users can all do it. I wrote a bash script that includes 
sudo adsl-start and sudo adsl-stop and the commands still work the next day.
