Unhappy Can't login with "news" username


I try to login with "news" username
After I type the passwd it said
"your session only lasted less then 10 seconds. if you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diakspace. try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if ou can fix this problem"

When I view details, it said:
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession:line 115: /usr/bin/ssh-agent/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients: No such file or directory
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession:line 115: exec: /usr/bin/ssh-agent/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients: cannot ececute: No such file or directory

What should I do? I must use "news" login to the system, I need to run the news server.

thanks

"news" is an internal username used by your system, not a login account.

And this is in the wrong forum. It has been moved to Linux-General.
