USB Keychain Drive

Here's mine:

/dev/sdb1                       /mnt/memstick   auto    noauto,user
0 0

I simply copied the line for the floppy and changed the specifics for
the USB drive.  

I don't recall if users have to explicitly mount the drive like they do
with floppies.

Mine does not work like that (automatically recognizing that the USB 
drive is present on plug-in and mounting it) so I suspect there must be 
something else besides the fstab line - or maybe an option in the fstab 
line that I don't know about.

I should have mentioned, in addition to the script that I posted, that 
my fstab line is:
/dev/sda1               /mnt/stick              vfat    
user,noauto,umask=0    0 0
