Annoyingly, I just tried installing the exact same packages on a redhat 7.3
system and it worked with no problems ..  Are you using PAM on 'unix authentication'
mode for your root webmin user, and if so is anything showing up in
/var/log/secure or /var/log/messages about why the login fails?

I see the bug that is causing this - you have to start usermin with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/usermin start  before uninstalling it.
