I think this is fine for a default, but I would allow superusers to mount 
globally. The reason is that I've needed to mount disks (particularly CD-ROMs 
or ZIP disks) that will need to be accessed by a workgroup. You need this 
flexibility, *especially* in a multiuser environment.

Of course, I think it should remain pointing at the standard mount-point. 
That way you only need to change the name of the file, and not any of the 
content. (So I'm lazy. Sue me.)
