Subject: X client won't start for non-root users (NetBSD 1.6)

When I try to run X (using startx) as a non-root user, the X server
starts but the client interface does not.  When I switch back to the
console display, the following message keeps repeating:

AUDIT: <date and time> <X server PID> X: client 1 rejected from local host
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

I'm running NetBSD-1.6-Release for i386 from about 2 weeks ago with the
default NetBSD 1.6 X client/server (XFree86 4.2 I believe).  I tried
setting ${HOME}/.xserverrc to use Xwrapper as I found in previous
messages but that didn't work.  Any suggestions?
