Is there a way to give a user other than root privilage to mount drives?

Thanks in advance

/dev/sda1 /media/usb auto noauto,users 0 0

I have this working fine... but when I have that line in fstab it likes to access the floppy drive every so often when sda1 is mounted. If I mount sda1 as root, everything is fine with no floppy drive access.

What do those two numbers mean at the end of the entry? (0 0) 0 1....

Well I changed the
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto noauto,user 0 1
to
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto noauto,user 0 0

and that seemed to solve the problem... but, what do those numbers represent?
