 We are having an impossible time getting X to come up on C2 machines.
 And X takes forever to stop trying to come up when we switch to init level
 3.

 The error message spewed out on the console is:
 AUDIT:  <date & time> : <pid>: X: client 1 rejected from local host (uid
 500)
 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
 Xlib: no protocol specified

 These machines have no serial number, but have a reasonable time set (June
 2007).   The hostname is xo-<mac addr>.localdomain, and shouldn't be
 changing (static network config, no DHCP or DNS).

 We are trying with build 617, and kernel 20071022.2 or .3.  The firmware
 is q2d01

 When we switch to init level 3, the error messages continue to spew, and
 ps lists X and xinit as still running.

 The /var/log/Xorg.0.log is attached.

 This has been seen before on earlier builds, but was correctable by
 reflashing the OS.  Doing this did not clear up the problem this time.
