Thanks Mark,

I appreciate your advice.

Since we aren't using floppies on thin clients I've ended up creating
a cronjob that removes the mounts every 5 mins.

#!/bin/sh
cd /media
for dir in /media/*
do
    cd $dir
    umount -fl "floppy0"
    cd ..
done

I know that your solution gives the user more control over their own
destiny, but in this case I think this approach may be suited to our
needs.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply!

John
