The machine, M36-663-1, located in 36-683, Model VS424AA,
serial number AB922005SNV has had some strange behavior recently.
On three occasions, when I came in in the morning, I found the display
with the following messages:
-----
Unable to start xlogin, doing console login instead
login: Login timed out after 60 seconds
dm: Unable tostart X
Unable to start xlogin, doing console login instead
login: Login timed out after 60 seconds
-----
Hitting various keys, etc. had no effect. I rebooted each time.
Machine displays no other abnormal symptoms.
The version is 7.2R (it did do both updates)
In all cases I had logged out the previous day.
In two of the three cases I had logged in via sunpal1 the previous night.
A running of "last" shows nothing untoward.
I don't know that anything needs to be done, I though I would report
this rather strange behavior.
