pretains to: app-admin/webmin-1.300-r1
USE="apache2 pam ssl -postgres -webmin-minimal"

with the default configuration webmin constures the 'XXX' as a password rather than check /etc/shadow that 'x' represents. with out replacing 'XXX' with 'x' users will not be able to log in with the root credentials


default file:

should read
file /etc/webmin/miniserv.users:
root:x:0
-EOF-

Reproducible: Always

2. Start Webmin
3. Attemp to login with root credentials with browser
