I know webmin panels most virtual hosts use execute root commands.
How do they do this, and how do I get around this?

I think that the webmin application is
normally
        a. running as root
        b. not running on the default HTTP port
As such the code is not setuid to Root.

So you might want to think about whether what you
want to integrate with webmin should be accessible
from a public cgi_bin directory anyway.
