it doens't, it's done dynamically, as I mentioned.
take for instance floppy and cdrom entries
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

like /media/usbdisk. The dir is created, but only root can mount.
how do I get users to be able to mount them again?
What does /etc/fstab say for the mountpoint /media?

Please bottom-post.
It doesn't matter how it's done... but you need a user flag in there, such as:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto user,pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
You have to tell the system to allow "users" to mount this.
"... (from man mount)
user - Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount the file system again. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid).
users - Allow every user to mount and unmount the file system. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line users,exec,dev,suid).
..."
