usbmount does that job (although I haven't used it on a wheezy system
yet). A small amount of configuration is needed - see the comments in
/etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf and set MOUNTOPTIONS and FS_MOUNTOPTIONS
accordingly. An example configuration, without comments, is
ENABLED=1
MOUNTPOINTS="/media/usb0 /media/usb1 /media/usb2 /media/usb3
/media/usb4 /media/usb5 /media/usb6 /media/usb7"
FILESYSTEMS="vfat ext2 ext3 ext4 hfsplus"
MOUNTOPTIONS="noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime"
FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,flush,gid=plugdev,dmask=0002,fmask=0113"
VERBOSE=no
Add yourself to whatever group(s) you use in the config, e.g. plugdev.
The device appears under /media/usb. Use pumount to unmount it.
I hope this helps.
