Item 3 was an odd one ... about 20 lines of 'blar' in the .login file dealing with root cookies for a non-root user. This machine was 'donated' to us from another institution, so I'm not quite sure why they were in .login, but taking them out resolved the issue.

Thanks all for the help, Doug

Hope this helps Marty
