One more info that might be interesting for you, too. We figured our that
the permission problem only shows up when the user logs via the text
console (and uses startx afterwards). If you login via kdm/gdm (but still
do *not* use KDE or Gnome but e.g. ctwm), ivman can mount a CD for the user.

Maybe it's due to some pam stuff. I remember some permissions were set
when you log in via kdm in 9.2, but I'm not sure what happens exactly.
I will let you know if I find out more.

cu,
Frank
