Comment (by pierswalter):

 Thanks, Joshua for pointing me into this direction.\\
 I had not been aware of the existence of ''dscl''.

 And indeed, this fails:


 {{{
 > dscl . -read /Users/piers shell
 <dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14136 (eDSRecordNotFound)
 > echo $?
 56

 }}}

 But of course I do have a shell:

 {{{
 > echo $SHELL
 /bin/zsh

 }}}

 This is a network account on a new (replacement) computer on which I've
 never used MacPorts before. My main computer is currently being repaired..

 I assumed that the setup of this new computer would be identical to the
 one on my main computer, but maybe it isn't...\\
 I'll have to look into where ''dscl'' gets its information from.
