Hello,

I just aquired a cool ms usb reader but I can oly mount it as root, do you guys know how to enable mounting for regular users also? this is my fstab:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

/dev/sda1 /mnt/ms auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 <=== this is the mem stick

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Firstly, I would remove the 'kudzu' entry, and add 'users' there instead.

Here's the line from my fstab:Works a treat.

Awsome it worked,

I swear my fstab is tempermental, I added the 'sda' line to it because it wasn't in there before. Sometimes when I go to mount it by typing "mount /mnt/ms" it says its not in fstab. I go and check and the entry is GONE, also the dir I made in /mnt/ is disapeared and I have to manually add the line and the mount dir again? any sugestions, atleast I can mount it as a regular user now!

If you originally let RedHat sort it out for you automagically when you plug the device in, then the fstab entry would have contained 'kudzu' in the options section (after noauto). The kudzu option tells the hotplug daemon to remove the device, the mountpoint and the fstab entry when no longer needed.
