well, the use of sort and grep in pipelines including awk always bugs 
me a bit:

sysctl -a | awk '$0 ~ /^net\.ipv6\.conf\./ { split($1,a,/\./); 
foo[a[4]] = a[4]; } END {asort(foo); for (i in foo) { if (foo[i] != 
"all" && foo[i] != "default") print foo[i];}}'

at a minimum, grep regex | awk '....' can nearly always trivially be
replaced with: awk '$0 ~ /regex/ ....' - grep | awk -> no! :)

use the bash EUID builtin variable :)

see:

102702 - tcp_wrappers install libwrap to /usr/lib
102703 - portmap links to /usr/lib/libwrap (comment refers to 102702)
102704 - portmap init script uses /usr/bin/id
102706 - initscripts network-functions uses uniq
