I have found it in launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/545864
It is to do with having installed samba.  It only talks about the
change password problem but I guess it is also causing the inability
to login of new users, as it is failing creating the user.

Thanks for the help all.
