Wouldn't host.equiv be the one to screw with?  You might also consider
looking at the xdm-config files on both machines, looking for something like
"DisplayManager*authorize: true" or some other obtuse crap in equally obtuse
files, such as Xaccess.  Consider looking at GiveConsole to see if
permissions are getting transferred over right, and maybe see if the problem
affects all users or if root's immune.  Xdm's the devil - Dogbert told me
so.

BTW, have you tried Mapp gas instead of propane?  It doesn't cost much more,
but it'll burn right through most anything that causes you problems... :)
