You might want to look at sshfs instead.  This is a nifty thing that
uses SSH, SFTP, and FUSE to let you mount storage from a remote box
that you have SSH access to.  Linux even lets non-root users do this in
a way that makes the mount not exist for any other user.  And since any
user can look at the man page and just do it, there's far less hassle
for the sysadmin to set up.  And you don't have to open any new holes
besides the already-well-tested SSH daemon.
