Oh. Logging in from remote over SSH they are fine.The only things that I have done recently is to change the SELinux permissions to Permissive from disabled and back again. Oh and install ies4Linux in root but that should not effect anything.
Oh. and failsafe mode logs into the account okay. New accounts also have the same problem.
I did a 'chown -R user:group /home/user' as root but that did not correct the problem.you may want to fix home directories # chown -R user:group /home/user
