Be aware that FileVault + Sophos's real time scanner have had some  
recurring issues that can affect deployments with deadlock at login.    
Current revisions of OS X + Sophos resolve it but we've had this  
symptom occur twice at various patch levels.

We're migrating away from FileVault where possible.
