Permissions appear to be correct - and the same for the user where 
startup fails, and the ones where everything is normal. Also, as I 
mentioned, there are alternative setups for the user, and one has a 
local home directory, one NFS-mounted. Login fails for both for the user 
in question, but login on a different host with the NFS home works just 
fine. (Also note that these logins were NOT active simultaneously.)
