[CUBE] osx stuck on login

[mike]

you might have problems with the symlink from /tmp to /private/tmp 
directory -- I heard rumors that safari munged that.

to restore it:

# ln -s /private/tmp /tmp

I've also had problems (earlier on in osx, around 10.1.0) with 
applications that corrupted the dock -- i'd login and it would log me 
right out again.  my situation degraded from there, and I ended up 
having to rename my library folder and reset all my preferences and 
mail by hand.

it's a bummer and it took time, but it got me back to working order.  
it might work for you too.

hope this helps,

mike
