Supplementary note for the benefit of the list: I tried manually 
updating the replica machines' PAM configurations to match, but I then 
got this error

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name 
com.redhat.oddjob_mkhomedir was not provided by any .service files
Last login: Fri Nov  4 11:36:07 2016 from x.x.x.x
Could not chdir to home directory /home/brian.candler: No such file or 
directory

All the machines had the same packages installed, including the 
"oddjob-mkhomedir" package. But the slaves were missing a single 
symlink. Solution was:

ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/oddjobd.service 
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/oddjobd.service

Regards,

Brian.
