Installing webmin 1.690 on Mageia 4 fails with message "please install as root".
The 'id' command on Mageia might return uppercase, returning 'UID=0' iso 'uid=0'.

To fix I changed the test in script /usr/share/webmin/setup.sh to use the command
'id -u -r' which only returns the UID numeric.
eg. '0' instead of 'UID=0(...'

    Thanks - this will be fixed in the next Webmin release.
