[John Parsons <J Parsons eim surrey ac uk>]

One of my RedHat 6.2 server crahsed last Friday, and now I keep getting the
following message in /var/log/messages:

init: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

I am not running gdm locally, but do need to provide X logon for terminal
clients.

Every five minutes I keep getting the following sort of message on the
console:

According to /var/run/gdm.pid, gdm was already running (5366),
but seems to have been murdered mysteriously.
"x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

Can someone help me please, as I am not all that hot with all the X stuff.
It was working fine before the reboot on Friday, now it doesn't work at all.

Cheers

John
