I think I understand what you are saying now. I tried to add user test with smbpasswd -a test without the user existing in the unix users list and I received the error. Then I did a adduser test and then passwd test to add the user to unix, after that I issued the smbpasswd -a test without errors. So what you are saying is that Webmin should be issuing this same set of commands? If so why do I get an error in Webmin but not when I issue it manually? Should I try to re-install Webmin? I really want to be able to manage these users from a single area. If I cannot get Webmin to work is there a way I can set Samba and Unix to syncronize users without using Webmin?
Thanks

If I issue

But if I issue the same command for an existing user, I receive no errors. Now what?
That's normal for a case where the user does not exist at all in the unix /etc/passwd file - they must exist as unix users first. I think the webmin 'convert' case should involve users who are in /etc/passwd but not yet in /etc/samba/smbpasswd. If you don't get an error in that case, then I don't see why webmin should fail either.
