Use pre-existing unix user

Hi there,

Is it possible to use a pre-existing unix user to create a virtual server, or do I have to delete the original user and re-create it with virtualmin?

Cheers.

you can convert a unix user through the webmin users module.

That's what I did, but i still cannot/don't know how to create a primary virtual server with that pre-existing user account.

did you assign that user to a group when converting? The user will get the permissions that the group allows him.

I did. In any case, i decided to just delete the user and re-create it with the virtual server.

Thanks any way :)
