I suspect the "intruder alert" problems are due to a race between xlogin
and the cleanup scripts. What's likely happening is that people are
logging in while the cleanup script runs, and they get into the password
file too early and then removed by the cleanup script. Meanwhile their
login continues, and they get hosed by various programs.
