Gebi, what's your opinion about this issue? Should we close this bugreport now 
as we are using 'users' instead of 'user' for CD/DVD mounting? Or should we 
consider using 'user' instead of 'users' again (due to security reasons)?

That's what it looks like currently:

% grep users /etc/fstab
/dev/fd0       /mnt/floppy    auto   users,noauto,exec                      
0      0
/dev/external  /mnt/external  auto   users,noauto,exec,rw,uid=mika,gid=mika 
0      0
/dev/external1 /mnt/external1 auto   users,noauto,exec,rw,uid=mika,gid=mika 
0      0
/dev/cdrom     /mnt/cdrom     auto   users,noauto,exec,ro                   
0      0
/dev/dvd       /mnt/dvd       auto   users,noauto,exec,ro                   
0      0

I'm not sure whether 'users' really is a sane choise. What about you?

regards,
