Can't help you with webmin, but I can help you add users on the command line. It's worth noting that this works for me... there might be a more elegant or preferred method.
I just add one example user through the dialog, then look in /etc/group for the list of extra groups that similar users should belong to. In the example below, the user is an admin. e.g. % grep similarusersname /etc/groups then, after I have the list, I add them with -G: useradd -d /homepath/newusername -m -g users -G adm,cdrom,plugdev,lpadmin,admin -s /bin/bash newusername We like having our main group be "users", but that is no longer a common practice. See "man useradd" to give each user its own group. The default shell on my version is sh, which is a bit primitive, so I set it to bash.
