Having this entry in the previous LTS version would allow
any user to mount the network file system, however when a
user tries to mount the file system with 12.04 they receive
an error message telling them they must be root to mount the
file system.
I checked the fstab man pages and it looked like users
should be user so I changed this and rebooted but a regular
user still can't mount the file system. Does anyone know
what I need to change to get this working with 12.04. I
really would like normal users to be able to mount and
umount the nfs file systems.
Thank you
Linda

Check with pkaction whether there's a difference between 10.04 and 12.04.

What is the command the user is using to mount the fs, and exactly
what is the error message? Ideally copy/paste from terminal.

The command is actually a bash script that normal users call
from a menu. Here is the line from the file
mount 192.168.1.19:/usr/local/lib/letters /usr/local/letters
When I run it as a normal user in 12.04 I get
mount: only root can do that.
The script file works fine for sudo and it works fine for
regular users on the 10.04 LTS machines I want all of my
users to be able to mount nfs filesystems and I do not want
them to have admin privileges which is why I have the fstab
entry which has worked perfectly for all previous versions

I think you should only need to do
mount /usr/local/letters
as the rest is in fstab, does that fail in the same way?
