system-auth is listed, which means that it uses the contents of the =
system auth stack that you have already posted. So, I suspect you are =
actually using pam_afs_session (and if the problem appears when it's =
there, and disappears when its gone, that would seem to hint at that =
too)

One thought that has just sprung to mind - you mentioned that =
/etc/profile had an xauth call in it. Do things get better if this is =
commented out? It's possible that pam_afs_session isn't actually the =
culprit, but the problem is caused because, when you are root, you can't =
update the xauthority file of the user you came from.
