Check out the Windows NT User and Server manager (srvtools.exe):

These Windows-based tools work with a Samba 3 domain! I've found that I
can give those tools to a administrator that doesn't know much Unix and
they can create and edit user accounts effectively.
I'd also recommend you take a look at pdbedit. It's a really nice
command line tool and it's pretty easy to use.
I really don't mess with my Samba servers on a day to day basis. Just
set them up once and the pretty much take care of themselves. :)

I don't know why Webmin would miss such an obvious line item.
Thank you, anyway.

Specifically yes. In Webmin when you view Samba users there isn't a
provision to add them. It just lists existing users.

We have started to use Samba v 3 under SuSe 10. Although I works fine, I'm
having some problems with setting up users. I have downloaded and tried
Webmin which works well.
Does anyone know of a utility that performs the simple functions that a
small network administrator wants -
Add/remove user (to both Linux and Samba)
Add/remove user to Samba (assuming existing Linux account)
Change password in Samba
Modify share permissions
Anything else that needs frequent changes/additions
This may seems simple, but a single basic utility is needed for these day
to
day needs. I've yet to find one.

I have thought that Webmin works very well for this. See Configure
User/Group synchronization in Samba module in Webmin.
Is there something in the Webmin module that isn't working for you?
