Do you really want to support autorun feature? It is such a

Though it may seems nice, but the script could make to do anything,
including wiping out your harddisk, install a trojan horse even before
you realise it.
CDE on Solarirs used to support it and we had to take it out for this
simple reason.
Unix still has profile files, though, which can be use
to play similar tricks: a colleague once dropped "logout"
into a csh .login file (:-))
Unless you actually mean **root** autorun: the only
program I know that has that is Samba, and it protects
the commands (root preexec and postexec) against
unprivileged people.
