XDM login

[cyoung at bbnplanet.com (Chuck Young)]

I don't know if you got any replies or if this is still a problem or what,
but I had the same thing when disk space was running short a while back.

It seems root is allowed to log in when space is short, but mortal users
are denied this luxury.  Do you have plenty of disk space?
