user dkim-milter does not exist - Centos 6.6

Hi there, I have a problem using dkim on my new fresh centos 6.6 installation. I use virtualmin/webmin and when i am going to "Email Messages" -> "DomainKeyIdentifiedMail" i try for the first time to save a dkim record, by changing the name to 2015 and checking "Signing of outgoing mail enabled?" to YES. As I click the save button, I see the message I have below: http://pastebin.com/xeX4QuZX

The user dkim-milter does not exist as I double-checked on my system by running "cat /etc/passwd". I reinstalled dkim-milter and I receive the same error. I have another server with same configuration and its worked there from the start. I am not able to reinstall the system. dkim version is the "dkim-milter-2.8.3-8.el6.x86_64"

How can I fix this problem? I cant seem to find a similar problem on the net.

P.S. I also find out that I was unable to create a user via ssh terminal "test123" as I get: /usr/sbin/adduser test123 adduser: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.

my permissions: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2871 Mar 6 06:39 /etc/passwd

Why this is happening?

Howdy,

Ah, that error you got adding a user might explain why the RPM was also unable to add the user.

What is the output of this command:

find /etc -name "*.lock"
