[PLUG] solaris lab and USB

[Ryan E. Helfter]

What you are looking for on a Sun box is /etc/vfstab.  But.. you might be
in luck.  Depending on teh OS version, USB devices should get mounted by
vold (Sun Volume Daemon)  This is teh same thing tha mounts CD, floppies,
ZIP drives, etc...

You will probably have to go to the admins for this, but the
/etc/vold.conf file might have to modified for this...

Enjoy,

-Ryan
