As I've said on another reply I've deleted .Xauthority file.

However, checking the new one having tried to log in a few times I have found 
that it hasn't been recreated.

The permission for the home directory is:


[root at lcomp3 gary]# ls -ld /home/gary
drwxr-xr-x. 82 gary gary 20480 Jul 14 09:33 /home/gary
