Logwatch occur when using a non-standard kernel without the correct CONFIG_AUDIT and CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL options set. If you're running a kernel without those options then you can remove the pam_loginuid from PAM (sshd,crond,login,remote and possibly others)

Method 1, grep and comment out the following pam_loginuid.so call
<code>
root@hostname [~]# grep pam_loginuid.so /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/crond:session required pam_loginuid.so
/etc/pam.d/login:session required pam_loginuid.so
/etc/pam.d/remote:session required pam_loginuid.so
/etc/pam.d/sshd:session required pam_loginuid.so
</code>

Method 2, if logwatch only related to crond, comment crond from pam config only
<code>
root@hostname [~]# more /etc/pam.d/crond
#
# The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon
#
#
auth     sufficient     pam_rootok.so
auth     include        common-auth
account  include        common-account
password include        common-password
#session  required       pam_loginuid.so
session  include        common-session
</code>
