Hi David,
    1. I've never had gksu lock me out of /etc/sudoers - don't know what 
the issue could be there...
    2. Using the hostname of the computer is fine - the line would be
[username] [hostname] = NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount
    3. If you can't edit the file with gksu gedit then using Mons cheat 
sheet you should be able to do it in visudo
    Hope it helps
    Paul
