I thought that it was listed in fstab with the user(s) option, the way
his
is, that the mount command was run as root, as long as you ran "mount
<mount
point>" or "mount <device>". On the other hand, using the format "mount
<device> <mount point>" requires root permissions. But I have not used
entries in /fstab for removable devices for a while - I use HAL instead.
I am not sure what his fstab should look like but as far as using the
mount command I have always found that you have to be root or have
permission explicitly granted. I plug in my external drive and it just
automounts for me, i don't remember doing anything special to get this
to work, but apparently this was not the case in FC6, i have never
used FC6. Hopefully he will let us know what happened.

FC6 would auto mount as well. But if you have an entry in /etc/fstab for
the device, it will not get auto-mounted.
shouldn't it mount if the "noauto" is removed from fstab?
noauto prevents automatic mount at boot (e.g. "mountall" or "mount -a").
It has nothing to do with the automounter.
