I've asked someone to test egetent, and the results are pasted below. Apparently egethome and egetshell make plain-wrong assumptions as to the output format, and therefore output empty strings. $ egetent passwd nnn uuuuuu UniqueID = ( nnn ) $ egetent passwd uuuuuu RecordName: uuuuuu com.apple.idms.appleid.prd.SOME-UUID $ egetent group nn ggggg PrimaryGroupID = ( nn ) $ egetent group ggggg RecordName: ggggg BUILTIN\Users Where: uuuuuu is username, ggggg is group name, nn/nnn are GID/UID
this probably doesn't work anymore, as those funcs date from darwin7/8 era they should probably be dropped, I thought there was already dscl code, but also that got deprecated, and really noone should be using those functions for more than a decade (because Prefix is only unprivileged, and Gentoo for Mac OS X is long dead/discontinued) I would advise against spending time to fix this/sort this out.
