You probably will. Webmin can not create Samba passwords from the
passwords in /etc/passwd. The only way you can use the passwords is
if you send plain-text password over the network. Windows and Linux
uses different password hashing mechanisms. So the encrypted
password that Samba uses does not match the one in /etc/passwd.

There used to be a section in the Samba docs about this, but I have
not looked for it lately.
