mount: only root can do that

hi,
I want to give a normal user permission to mount a nfs partition
under one of his/her directory.

So, I set up /etc/fstab like this :

xx.xx.xx.xx:/mnt/inst /home/user1/mount nfs noauto,user 1 2

and checked the permission of /bin/mount and its "-rwsr-sr-x"

When user1 tries to mount the partition and give the command
mount -t nfs xx.xx.xx.xx:/mnt/inst mount , he always get the answer
"mount: only root can do that"

how can i get around with it. please suggest thanks

regards
baruah
