Following a complete re-install, I found (IIRC) the only real user on my RHEL6 box had uid/gui of 501/502. Somehow the xguest user got assigned its uid/gid ahead of the real user. To match the underlying uid/gid assignments for that real user on surrounding machines, I removed the xguest package and reassigned 501:501 to the real user. Now I'm seeing some serious thrashing of the rtkit-daemon process that causes the machine to crash in 2-3 hours. The following lines repeat in /var/log/messages with a new rtkit-daemon PID every few minutes.
Can someone suggest where to start untying this knot?
