Assuming you're using Samba for this, you'll need to read up on
authentication in Samba and then figure out which of several options are
configured on your system.  It is not [necessarily] sufficient to add a
FreeBSD user.

P.S.  In many circumstances

adduser -G plusmate ac06

instead of

adduser -g plusmater ac06

would give more elegant results.  Other things being equal, it's better
to have all users use their own login group and then add them to
additional groups as appropriate.  There are plenty of legitimate
reasons not to do this, so you're probably best off remaining consistent
with the setup of the existing users.
