When logging onto my user account, to Gnome, RH 6.2, I sometimes get booted out the first time I try. I get the following message in my messages log: Apr 26 08:38:44 CV150607-A PAM_pwdb[667]: (gdm) session opened for user john by (uid=0) Apr 26 08:38:44 CV150607-A gdm[667]: gdm_slave_session_start: john on :0 Apr 26 08:38:46 CV150607-A PAM_pwdb[667]: (gdm) session closed for user john Apr 26 08:38:46 CV150607-A gdm[667]: gdm_auth_user_remove: /home/john is not owned by uid 0. Apr 26 08:38:46 CV150607-A gdm[667]: gdm_auth_user_remove: Ignoring suspiciously looking cookie file /home/john/.Xauthority Second log in attempt always works. Can someone tell me what this means?
