GDM could not write to your authorization file. This could meanthat you are out of diskspace or that your home directory could not be open for writing. Tn any case, it is possible to login. Please conatc your system administrator.

If you can't login, you might consider booting to a Live CD such as Knoppix or Slax, then taking a look at the disk space and permission issues.
