Ok...
Redhat boots up into X and the login prompt comes up...I type in login
and password...it then goes to authenticate me but brings up another
login window...
I have booted using Linux Single and changed my password via command
prompt...still wont let me login ...
Any ideas would be very helpful...

This is the sort of thing you'd see if...
a) your home directory or shell path setings in /etc/passwd were fouled up, or
b) your /etc/profile or ~/.profile were fouled up, or
c) your ~/.xsession was fouled up

This happened to me too... I found that if I login as root first, then
relogin as a user, everything works fine.....maybe this isn't how it's
supposed to go, but otoh, I can see where they might expect root to
start the system up, allowing users to login......You can change that
with chmod, etc, but I kind of like having it set up this way.....

I spoke too soon! ---, after I posted my reply, I started having the
same problem - totally lost access to my user login!! Let me know if
you get a reply
(I tried fiddling with all the boot & login configs in linuxconfig,
gnome manager, etc to no effect - seems to be a transient - sometimes
it works fine & others it doesn't....strange!)
