I have an external USB drive. For some reason, it is not accessible to

automatically and is accessible to anyone using the system by default?

Here's my entry in /etc/fstab (for FC2) which works the way
you described (edited to fit the line).
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user,exec 0 0
You probably want to use something other than /mnt/usb as your
mount point. I have mine set not to auto mount, so you probably
want to remove the "noauto". To find out about the switches
available in that line, check "man mount".

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
