I recall running into this when I first installed 1.5.2 as well.  I 
finally tracked it down to an authentication problem and I solved it my 
commenting out a line in one of the configuration files.  As I recall the 
system wasn't falling back on mit-style authentication or wasn't doing 
what it used to in previous versions.  Sorry I can't recall the file I 
modified to fix the problem -- my 68k system was recently trashed by a 
snapshot installation.  If nobody else finds the problem before I restore 
things I'll post my workaround when I get done reinstalling 1.5.2.
