No your doing great. I have been slowly moving myself away from webmin,
it was a great tool to learn from, because I can look at the module
configurations to see where all my reconfigurations are going.
Back to the issue:

I have 2 servers running samba shares and one server running windows
shares, none of which has ever been setup to manage user account
centrally... and I am very sure of this
