I am running Fedora 4 on one desktop (Dell dimension 1100) at work and
Red Hat EL 3 or
Red Hat EL5 on several other, different machines.

When I insert a USB key in the Fedora machine, it automatically mounts
by itself.
I have a Fedora 4 machine at home (Dell GXpro), and it does the same.
The icon
pops up on the Gnome desktop.

My /etc/fstab file includes this line, which allows nonroot users to
mount:
/dev/sda1     /mnt/usb  auto rw,users 0 0

However, almost all the  Red Hat machines will fail to mount the key
automatically;
they require the user to issue a mount command.   One or two out of
about 15  running
Red Hat EL 5 (never EL 3) will mount automatically.

I can not figure out why the Red Hat OS doesn't mount these keys.  I
tried rearranging
lines in fstab, and it seems not to help.   Does anyone know how to
get Red Hat
to mount a USB key automatically?

None of the machines are running automounter services.

Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; I'm changing my Email, and I don't
know
whether it will be forwarded from Yahoo.
