Recently I had to reboot my RH6. Now X won't start for any users, although
it will for root.
I get the following when I try:

[david@fast david]$ startx
Authentication failed
xinit:  Server error.
[david@fast david]$ ls -l .Xauthority
-rw-------   1 david    david         112 Aug 13 11:55 .Xauthority
[david@fast david]$


I get the following in my message log(which I presume might be related to 
the problem):

Aug 13 11:39:16 fast pam_xauth[3470]: do_file: could not create dir
/etc/X11/fs/.xauth

Can anyone tell me where to start looking to resolve this sort of problem?

TIA, David.
