In SUSE 10.0 they finally got the /net working right again. Why don't 
you turn on the atuofs, setup, auto.master, and auto.net. Then as a 
standard user say the machine is crab, you can then do a cd 
/net/crab/to-your_exported_directory. It requires no root command. If 
you turn on the timeout, if you are not using it, it will even unmount 
the file without any problem.
