Only root can automount CD drive and USB thumb drive

Nothing happens when ordinary users plug in a USB thumb drive or insert a CD into CDROM drive. Works fine for root. After root mounts the drives then all users can use them. How can I enable mounting/unmounting by all users? I used the same CD's to install the OS (CentOS 5) on another machine. Mounting works fine there. What's going on?
