Adding option "noatime" is advised to save wear-and-tear on the bits
in
your key (only good for a finite number of cycles).  Don''t have a
CentOS
4 box at hand, but on my FC3 machine the following shows up
automagically in fstab after plugging in my key:

/dev/sda                /media/PHIL_S_KEY       vfat   \
pamconsole,exec,noauto,iocharset=utf8,noatime,sync,managed 0 0

CentOS 4 should act similarly.
