Hey Paul!
- From the mount man page:
(iii) Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems. However, when
fstab contains the user option on a line, then anybody can mount the
corresponding system.
Thus, given a line
/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide
any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM using the
command
mount /dev/cdrom
or
mount /cd
For more details, see fstab(5). Only the user that mounted a
filesystem can unmount it again. If any user should be able to unmount, then
use users instead of user in the fstab line.
