I like the (c) option also but I think its a little late in the game to be
implementing that. The time for that change was before this release hit the
public clusters.
I'm currently using detach -C -a to clean up the mountpoints when I log in.
You can run this on logout after the /etc/passwd file is cleaned up or anytime
after/during the logon process.
My contention is that cleaning mountpoints should be part of the logout
cleanup process. I think we all agree that common mountpoints are a potential
problem and I propose that the problem be dealt with in this release since
there is now a mechanism for cleaning up at logout. In the next release, the
issue of common mountpoints can be dealt with more directly in the attach
process.

P.S. What idiot started this discussion anyway ...
