I am getting the following error in /var/webmin/miniserv.error What do I need to do to fix it?

On a typical system where users are stored in /etc/passwd, you can pretty much ignore this.

Are you seeing any errors logging into Virtualmin though?

Alternately, you can go to Webmin -> Others -> Perl Modules, and install Authen::PAM from CPAN

Thanks Jamie!

No errors logging into Virtualmin.

In that case, you can either ignore this, or just install the Authen::PAM perl module. On CentOS, the command for this is :

yum install perl-Authen-PAM
