When I was using my HP CD drive a lot, I got tired of having to become
root and remember or look up all the right mount options every time I
wanted to change CDs, so I made an attach.conf entry so that I could
"attach cdrom" to mount it, and "detach cdrom" when I needed to eject.
This is equivalent to Matt's suggestion, which I think is a win.
One tricky issue with the hesiod entry is that different platforms are
going to need different entries. We could either teach users to type
"attach sgizip" or "attach sunzip" depending on their workstation, or
we could add a platform-dependent line to attach.conf so that "attach
zip" works everywhere.
