You are not logged in.
When I reboot and go to login I get an error about not being able to login due to write protect on .ICEauthority.
Now this can be solved, by removing the .ICEauthority files and logging in.
After a successful login I have.
ls -la .ICEauthority*
-rw------- 1 User users 189 2007-09-17 12:15 .ICEauthority
On a reboot login which fails I have 3 files
-rw------- 1 root root 189 2007-09-17 12:13 .ICEauthority
-rw-r--r-- 2 User users 0 2007-09-17 12:13 .ICEauthority-c
-rw-r--r-- 2 User users 0 2007-09-17 12:13 .ICEauthority-l
Another strange thing is as user I can remove that first file that is claimed is owned by root.
So does anyone know how I can fix it, I tried a reinstall of my kde bits, but I'm presuming that .ICEauthority is being created by something else.
Could someone point me to the right package to try and reinstall please or help me fix it.

Thanks Guys'n'Gals for looking I found the problem I'll leave it in case someone else encounters this.
I had a script in rc.local that wasn't quite right and for some reason this was causing the problem. Still think it was strange that as a user I could delete this file though.
