janina, maybe disabling selinux will help? have you checked /etc/{passwd,shadow} ? what if you create a new user? ..
selinux was already disabled--so it wasn't selinux. But, creating a new user named 'NEW' did the trick. So, the emergency is covered as NEW goes to prepare her demo! <grin> Thanks.

I ran a 'yum upgrade' on my test 3 portable Thursday night. Since then I've been unable to log onto the desktop. Console logins have not been affected. I see the following error in /var/log/secure:

Well, the user is 'janina,' and not 'JANINA,' of course. ... ...
Janina: William Murray also reported problems with the latest authconfig
packages. He recommends reverting to authconfig 5.3.7-1.
Well, I can only find authconfig-5.3.6, but downversioning to that doesn't fix the problem. I get the same error.
His description of his problem doesn't sound exactly like yours, but it might be a good first step. Here is his report:
Hi guys, I just updated my FC6T3 box, and it no longer starts gdm. Last error in /var/log/messages: heplnw8 gdm[2164]: no suitable security token driver could be found
This is with new authconfig 5.3.8-1 If I go back to 5.3.7-1 all is OK again... Bill
