[ltp] Two Questions from me.

[Scott Dixon]

The automounter is a good way to go.  Another useful possibility is to use the
"user" option in /etc/fstab.  For example:

/dev/hda6		/mnt/d			    vfat   noauto,user

This option allows normal users (i.e. not root), to mount this device (mount
/mnt/d).  The noauto is probably also a good idea so that the devices isn't
automatically mounted at startup.
