mounting for ordinary users

[Gernot Kerschbaumer]

dear linux-users,

i can't mount a vfat partition as ordinary user, only as root, though i
declared this partition in my fstab file as "user".
i always get the error 'cant't access /etc/mtab: permission denied'.
same problem is with my external hd and cdrom drive.

running 2.0.35, slackware distribution

thank you for any help
