Don't have access to a Linux machine right now, so I might not be 100% accurate: If it's OK with you that the (single) user who's logged in at the moment the pendrive is plugged in can mount it, then I believe there's a way to solve it. What you do is remove the (manual) fstab entry, define the pendrive in /etc/updfstab* and add the respective entry to /etc/security/console.perms (or so). There's examples in there which you can copy. The /dev/sdX entry will then be "chonwed [user]" the moment you plug the pendrive in & an fstab entry created, Ie the drive is user-mountable. Alternatively, I guess the /etc/security/... file allows you to make the /dev/sdX entry world-R/W on plug-in of the pendrive. But this might be a security risk... HaJo
