I have automount configured for my cdrom, floppy, and zip drives. They all mount
fine when I CD to the mount dir, but they mount as root and I can't write to the
zip or the floppy. Here is my /etc/auto.mnt file:

# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage

cdrom           -fstype=iso9660,ro,user         :/dev/cdrom
floppy          -fstype=auto,rw,user            :/dev/floppy
zip             -fstype=auto,rw,user            :/dev/zip

I have, as root, done a 'chmod +r <device>' and a 'chmod +w <device>' for both
/dev/zip and /dev/floppy (zip is a link to sdb4 and floppy is a link to fd0). 
Any ideas on why I can only write to floppy and zip as root?
