I can't open a graphical session except for root

Hello ,

I've got a problem with my SCO 5.0.5 :
When I try to open a graphical session with any user account (login/password) ,
I get a black screen then go back to the scosession window .

For root account , there's no problem .

Any idea ?
Thanks . Regards

The problem was due to a corrupted /dev/null device .
/dev/null was a regular file instead of a device .
I generated it with a mknod command .
I restarted the server and now it works .

Thanks
