[Webmin-maintainers] Bug#296010: webmin causing authentication errors (pam_unix) on startup

[C.Y.M]

Package: webmin
Version: 1.180-1
Severity: Important

Description: After installing webmin, my system shows an authentication error 
every time webmin is restarted.  Below is one of the failed error message lines 
from /var/log/auth.log when webmin is restarted. The webmin application seems to 
function properly, but it appears that the pam.d configuration is incorrect.  My 
system is using shadowed passwords if that makes any difference.  Thanks.
