This is determined by fstab.  For any device you wish a user to be
able to mount, make sure the right end of the line has "user" in it.

i.e. /dev/fd0        /mnt/fd0        ext2    user    1 1

Excerpt from my /etc/fstab

/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             ext2    noauto,rw,user
0 0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,ro,user
0 0
/dev/hdd4               /mnt/zip                vfat    rw,noauto,user
0 0

Your zip drive might be on /dev/hdc4.

Pardon me for jumping into the middle of a thread. Could I ask one step
further?
I have been able to get users to be able to mount the floppy but have not
been able to get users to be able to write to or delete from floppy.
my fstab reads:ext2 user, exec, dev, suid, rw, noauto 00
ls -l  /dev/fd0 reads: brwxr-xr-x.
Also have tried to find faq and how-to about this with no luck
Am using Red Hat 5.2 and KDE.
Thanks

1. Giving others secure access to my private network.

I have two machines at home.  One acting as a gateway, and the other on a
private network.  The gateway machine is firewalled, and will only allow ssh
and http access.  It also does IP masquerading for the private network.  A
friend of mine has a machine at home, and I would like to grant him secure
graphical access to files in my private network.  The machines involved all
run Linux (i.e. the gateway, the inner machine, and my friend's machine).

I do not want to use a solution like FTP because it is not secure.  I thought
of running a VPN, and then NFS mounting the needed directories from my inner
machine to my friend's.  Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks a lot.
