The problem was sorted out for me by Chris Stenton. The solution was to do with checking for valid shells as given in the passwd file. The location of the tcsh binary had changed during the upgrade (3.x vs 4.2). During the login process it seemed that some protocols checked whether there was a valid shell and refused access if there was not.
