From the MAN page, I get the example;
ALL CDROM = NOPASSWD: /sbin/umount /CDROM,\
/sbin/mount -o nosuid\,nodev /dev/cd0a /CDROM
Any user may mount or unmount a CD-ROM on the machines in the CDROM
Host_Alias (orion, perseus, hercules)
without entering a password. This is a bit tedious for users to
type, so it is a prime candiate for
encapsulating in a shell script.
So in your sudoers file, you need the entry;
ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/mount, /sbin/umount
** This will allow ANY user to run the mount & umount command without the
need for a passwd.
This is in it's simplest form and is open to lots of nailing down and
improving.
## NOTE: use visudo to edit the /etc/sudoers file
Hope this helps
