Function csih_get_system_and_admins_ids(), last test:
csih_ADMINSUID=$(sed -ne '/^[^:]*:[^:]*:[0-9]*:[0-9]*:[^:]*,S-1-5-32-544:.*:/{s/[^:]*:[^:]*:\([0-9]*\):.*$/\1/p;q}' /etc/passwd)
csih_SYSTEMUID=$(sed -ne '/^[^:]*:[^:]*:[0-9]*:[0-9]*:[^:]*,S-1-5-18:.*:/{s/[^:]*:[^:]*:\([0-9]*\):.*$/\1/p;q}' /etc/passwd)
if [ -z "$csih_ADMINSUID" -o -z "$csih_SYSTEMUID" ]
then
[...]
The function csih_get_system_and_admins_ids is called by
csih_check_access() and requires the above test being successful.
