If anything I'd check for membership in group 544. "Administrators"
surely is one of these strings that gets localized depending on the
phase of the moon or something. I can't look right now, but I'm pretty
sure it says "Administratoren" in a german Windows version.
On all my Dutch Windows all group names are localized apart from
544/Administrators.
I can confirm it is localized in German Windows (as I had been told
myself when I proposed the same idea here 2 months ago:) ).
# id
uid=1000(Frank) gid=513(Geen)
groups=513(Geen),0(root),544(Administrators),545(Gebruikers)
But I agree checking the numeric value is better.
As Corinna had said. Yet, I'd like to check official documentation to
confirm "544" is a constant for this purpose.
Other suggestions had been discussed (like checking something in
/proc/something...).
