Bingo, seems to be old scruff somewhere in the accounts that is
preventing the logins from working. Did two tests. One with a local new
account and another with the account on the remote user server using
autofs and NFS to server the home directories. Both tests worked.

Now do we take a meat axe and remove all the dot directories or in great
pain discover what is blocking the logins from working. Note we have
already removed every directory and file that had gnome in the name.
