Comment (by GarrettAlbright):

 /etc/passwd isn't where user accounts are listed on macOS. Try the dscl .
 -ls /Users command instead.

 Okay, I see "elasticsearch" in there. I figured passwd was good enough
 since I see "www" and "mysql" in there. Should I try deleting this user
 and group and reinstalling?

  4294967295 does seem like an extremely high and unreasonable group ID
 value. Is your computer configured to use an unusual directory service
 provider that might be causing such unusual IDs to be used?

 Not that I know of. It's just a normal personal laptop and I have the only
 real human account on it.
