As ever thanks to evryone who replied, Craig Johnson, Vance and Timoth
Reed all mentioned that NFS was the culprit. Up to this point I had not
suspected this as the nfs mounts appeared to be working and I had
restarted both the nfs server and clients.
However I changed the users home directory to /tmp and the login worked,
At this point Stuart Abramson and Kevin Davisson suggested setting the
shell history to /tmp using::
export HISTFILE=/tmp/.sh_history.$LOGNAME.$$
This worked(with the nfs mounted home directories) and users can now log in.
