Some more information, in case anyone has an idea.

These are the RPM's installed yesterday.

With the following 3 being my prime suspects.

glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.rpm
pam-devel-0.75-16.rpm
pam-0.75-16.rpm

ls -lrtc output ..

Do these pam configs look ok?

other has

More importantly this is the X output.

It says the module does not exists even though modules.conf has not
changed.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86 at xfree86.org.

XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I'm a little scared of randomly replacing my glibc and pam rpm's to see
what happens.

regards,
Darren
