Unable to login using DECwindows?

I've just started managing a group of DECstation 3100's and oner of
them refuses to allow a login using DECwindows.  I type in a user name
and passwd and after a short delay I get the Xprompter window again.
Root can login in normally and users can login via telnet, rlogin or if
the console is setup without the Xprompter line in /etc/ttys.

I'm running Ultrix 4.1 and I have checked the binaries for login,
dxsession, Xprompter and Xcfb against those on a working system.

Any suggestions?  I'm from a Sun shop and I have yet to find all the
magic files, etc which make DECwindows work.  Any help you can provide
would be greatly appreciated.

Please *e-mail* your suggestions at: mckay at gimli.bio.purdue.edu

Thanks!
