True story I just _want_ to tell: two Macintoshes in my office, one of them is a 7500 (with CD drive) which stands in a "dead corner" of the table (no keyboard before it). Mac has audio CD playing software that allows for remote control over the LAN. Colleague decides to stop listening to CD _now_ and clicks the appropriate button. CD tray opens and pushes my conveniently placed coffee cup just to the edge of the desk. :-)
You're right, it's a not-so-good idea.
OTOH, I do like the Solaris automounter; it just shouldn't block the drive in case someone wants to run workman...
