I'm running Suse 6.3 and I have several devices marked as user mount in fstab;
my floppy drive, zip drive, and cdrom. However, whenever I try to mount these
devices as anything other than root I get a message saying that only root may
use mount. All the docs seem to suggest that this is not the case, and that
I should be able to mount those things appropriate marked in fstab. How can
I fix this so that I can mount floppy/zip/cdroms without being root?
