I had found mention of gdm being a related issues, but it wasn't
running on my server which I would expect because it's a server.

I am also running samba so I edited the file you mentioned and added the
auth methods = guest sam winbind
line to the [global] settings. However, I'm not physically near the
machine now so I can't test it at a VT until I get there.

Thanks, I hope this fixes the issue, but it seems we still have a bug
here and this is only a work around.

I wonder if this could also be causing another issue I am having. I am
running automount for my NFS mounts. When I log out then back in I
cannot get to the mounts any more. I need to run
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure portmap  <choose No>
$ sudo service portmap restart
to get them working again. Restarting alone doesn't fix it.

Should I enter another bug for this?
