[Samba] New users not visible within webmin

[Kari Kostamo]

After looking into the issue further, I discovered the just running 
pdbedit -L returned with an error

build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt!  username {user 
account} with uid {####} is not in unix passwd database!  The names 
being displayed stopped at the name just before the one giving the error.

I had thought I had all these fixed prior to doing the upgrade to Samba 
but I guess not.  Removing the names from the password file and I get 
further into the list of names being displayed.  Now I just have to 
remove all the problem accounts.
