The general procedure is either the second one or try to ensure that the
user calling the mount command is not member of more than 8 groups.
Usually root is in all groups and thus in more than 8. Unfortunately
linux doesn't allow to mount as non-root user.
We had the exact same problem with some RS/6000 (new) and old Apollo machines
in our house. AIX allows mounts when you are in the system (0) group. For
mounting the old Apollo dirs we created a special user that was member
only of the system group.
(We didn't have todo that in the bootup scripts as mounts were performed
b4 NIS was brought up and thus before root was in more than 8 groups)
