SCO console login keeps kicking me back out!! help

OK, I installed a new KVM switch and have 3 IBM servers all running SCO unix attached to it among some other servers...

everything works fine except for just one of the SCO servers (all the same hardware) will kick me back out after I login using the console... I will login and it will take me to the SCO desktop and then after a few seconds it will just kick me back out to the graphical login screen!? what is going on? The other 2 servers are connected to the switch in the same manner and they are fine and do not do this.

I am running SCO 5.3

I did notice that after logging in like this and getting kicked several times the amount of root users with tty's keeps growing... i saw this by doing a "who"

Does anyone have any idea how i can fix this?

I had a similar case few years ago...
I dont remember exactly what I did, my case was one account was in this situation not the others... I compared and found nothing obvious, so I recreated the account:
created a new account, move what I needed for the other except all X stuff, chown -R the home directory, deleted, the old and move the new one...

Clear the growing sessions!

Have you tried connecting with another user through your KVM to see if it ends the same way or succeeds?

login problems

I guess i will try removing the server in question from the KVM switch and see if it still happens... that will eliminate that possiblily...

I think I have figured out that its some sort of license issue... the KVM switches are fine.
