That is surprising, as there should always be at least one .acl file for each domain user .. and typically many.
What happens if you try disabling and then re-enabling the "Webmin login" feature for this domain? This can be done at the shell with commands like :
virtualmin disable-feature --domain whatever.com --webminvirtualmin enable-feature --domain whatever.com --webmin

OK, that would explain it. Most likely those files got accidentally deleted.

What if the user is stored on LDAP? IM getting the same error.

timmy - are you seeing this error when you have Webmin users stored in LDAP?

This will be fixed in the 3.91 Virtualmin release.
