Maybe, but I do not have an idea what this can be. And if some other process is interfering, why does this only happen on first login after boot?
What completely surprises me is that when I install the Debian lenny package of libpam-devperm (that works perfectly on lenny) on my Ubuntu jaunty PC, it also does not change device permissions on first login of a user.
