Would it be possible to have all local drives mount under the current
user?

Eg.
User a has e usb-pen and a cdrom on his ws
User b has a floppy on his ws
User c has a usbpen on his ws

would automaticaly generate

/home/a/localdisks/usb-pen
/home/a/localdisks/cdrom
/home/b/localdisks/floppy
/home/c/localdisks/usb-pen

I would like that, as I often manages remote sites. Even though I prefer
a ssh-shell to do most things, it's a little difficult to debug GUIs via
X over an ADSL with 128/512 witch is very common here in denmakr
