Thanks Brian, that did it. I suppose next time I should go to Webmin
and see if there are any updates :-)

Don't re-install, go to Webmin Configuration and Update webmin, then
update modules. There's a fix within those updates

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
#smbpasswd -a test
Then enter in new passwords I get the errors
Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user test
Failed to modify password entry for user test
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.
