I also get the same error when I try to delete a user or a group:

root@squid:/etc # useradd test
root@squid:/etc # userdel test
userdel: PAM authentication failed
root@squid:/etc #

root@squid:/etc # groupadd test1
root@squid:/etc # groupdel test1
groupdel: PAM authentication failed
root@squid:/etc #
