I used the registry check in the past because it only uses shell

Especially given that in future there might be no /etc/group to begin
with.
But even without /etc/group, the administrator's group will have the
gid 544. I think such a test should be sufficient?
Yes.
Result would only differ for special accounts like "Backup
Administrator" (has SeBackup/RestorePrivilege but is not member of local
admin group).
This change for my patch uses shell builtins for the string matching:
# Set PS1a if user has admin rights
unset PS1a
-if [ -r /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SECURITY ]; then
- PS1a="# "
-fi
+case " $(/usr/bin/id -G) " in
+ *\ 544\ *) PS1a="# " ;;
+esac
Works for me with bash, dash, mksh, posh, and zsh.
