Ok, after a check in the setup stuff, the problem is the
following: by default, a variable set to /var/webmin is used to
store the pidfile -and- the logfiles. 2 years ago, when I first
packaged Webmin, it seems I chose to use /root/tmp (I don't know
why exactly). Then on Tue Sep 26 2000, Florin changed that to
/var/log (appears nice). Then on Wed Oct 3 2001, I fixed bug
#5580 by using /var/run.. because the pidfile -needs- to be in
/var/run.. but then the logfiles were not in the correct place.

So you were right, the problem really is specific to Mandrake
package :-(.

Fixing that.
