Authentication Failed

[J. W. Ballantine]

Hi,

I running gnome on an FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE box and I get a black window
with a life preserver and an Authentication Failed message.  It
has a button for more details, which only says I don't have proper
authentication.  Then is no indication on what process is causing
the window to pop-up.

Is anyone aware of what process is causing this window and why?

Thanks

Jim Ballantine
