What version of redhat do you have ? This could possibly be a PAM
problem dealing with authentication.
take at a look at your /etc/pam.d/xserver file and it might read
something like this
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so
account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so
change it so it reads..
#%PAM-1.0
account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so
this should bypass any *Strict* authenication required by pam, as long
as you've got an account..
if this doens't work, let me know
