http://bugs.hylafax.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913

           Summary: Faxsetup fails if username isn't root
           Product: HylaFAX
           Version: latest
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: misc
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Faxsetup fails if the current username username != root,
even if the UID is 0.

A preliminary fix for that may be:
 - Checking if the current user is a part of the "root" (GID 0) group

A possible patch:

or
 - Checking if the users UID equals 0 (Which is unusual)
