Scratch this: It worked once and now it doesn't work upon reboot!!!
This is so frustrating I may just give up on Slackware altogether.
With Slackware 12.1 and 12.2, USB drives automounted out of the box. Not so for my Slackware 13 installation. The obvious thing was to check which groups I was already a member of, using the command
groups
in Konsole. It said I was a member of cdrom, but not plugdev, so I used the command
gpasswd -a [user] plugdev
and logged out. I logged in again, double checked that I was in plugdev, and tested. Nothing. I didn't know what to do and Google didn't help. I added myself to a bunch of other groups, but none worked.
Some more extensive searching took me here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/12.0-and-hal-read-this-566862/
Long story short, I had to open the file /etc/login.defs as root and add plugdev to the line referenced in that post. I logged out and back in, and then I could automount USB drives.

please change the "owner" to "user" for the cdrom in /etc/fstab and it will work
This was mentioned in CHANGES_AND_HINTS.txt in the root of the slackware-13.0/ dir.

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
losing several weeks of hard work due to no back up.
Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?

Wonderful blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost
on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options
out there that I'm completely confused .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!

I seldom leave responses, however I glanced through a few remarks on
"Slackware 13 Automount USB Drive". I do have some
questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be just me
or do some of the remarks appear like they are left
by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting
on additional online sites, I'd like to keep up with you. Would you list of all of your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and
tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop,
just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now
broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hello! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this
issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Thanks!
