mounting
I generally use mount many times to mount an iso image or as a bind between directories or mounting a squash file system. Y does one require root permission to do a mount --bind between two of his own directories or just mount an iso/squash image in directory he owns? Also I wish mount had an option like mount --file=/home/user/fstab so that it is not required to write seperate shell scripts for mounting alone. Is there any way users with non root access use mount cmd to mount iso/squash images??

mount.nfs

MOUNT.NFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME

       mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS

       mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]

DESCRIPTION

       mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.

       mount.nfs  is  meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone
       command with limited functionality.

       remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share.  dir is the directory on which the file system	is  to	be
       mounted.

       Under  Linux  2.6.32  and  later  kernel  versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions.  Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
       mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.

OPTIONS

       -r     Mount file system readonly.

       -v     Be verbose.

       -V     Print version.

       -w     Mount file system read-write.

       -f     Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.

       -n     Do not update /etc/mtab.	By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making
	      an entry.

       -s     Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.

       -h     Print help message.

       nfsoptions
	      Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages.

NOTE

       For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages.

FILES

       /etc/fstab	 file system table

       /etc/mtab	 table of mounted file systems
