The consensus is that this is an attempt to login via CDE or other X interface.

My theory is that the are failed connection attempt (probably by me from our VPN server) where the host cannot get back to the remote machine, but this is still just a theory. I may try to reproduce the problem. There was noting in /usr/var/dt/Xerrors related to these events.

Thanks.

Bruce.
