$sudo mount machine.name:/home/directory /mnt/directory

comes back with a prompt: no messages in /var/log/messages either, or

$ id
uid=1000(maitra) gid=1000(maitra) groups=1000(maitra),10(wheel),18
(dialout) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

$ ls -l /mnt/directory
total 4K
drwxrwx--x. 3 nobody nobody 4.0K Feb 14 19:30 alamo/

$ls -ld /mnt/directory

drwxrwxr-x. 16 nobody nobody 4.0K Feb 22 08:47 /mnt/directory
