[Linux-disciples] mount: only root can do that

[Brian Cooke]

On my RedHat system, I am trying to mount my ZIP drive using the command:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip

..as a normal user and keep getting the message:

mount: only root can do that

I am able to mount as root.  I did a little research and it seems to 
be commonly agreed that you will receive this message if you don't have a 
line for the device in /etc/fstab and the "user" option turned on.  However, 
I believe I have both of these things.  The relevant line in my /etc/fstab is:

/dev/sda4               /mnt/zip                vfat    noauto,user,kudzu 
0 0

What gives?  Why am I still unable to mount as a non-root user?  I have 
the feeling I'm making a silly mistake, but I don't know what it is.
