NIX installation not working on MacOS

[herveschweitzer]

Describe the bug

Installation on MacOS is not working, I get the below error

--- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -create /Users/_nixbld1 PrimaryGroupID 30000

to let the nix daemon use this user for builds (this might seem redundant, but there are two concepts of group membership)

sudo: 4294967295: invalid value
sudo: error initializing audit plugin sudoers_audit

---- oh no! --------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh no, something went wrong. If you can take all the output and open
an issue, we'd love to fix the problem so nobody else has this issue.

:(

We'd love to help if you need it.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252518458 suggests this might be an intermittent/flaky issue if your system is part of a domain?

I'd recommend following the uninstall instructions and repeating the install a few times to see if it works.

Edit: see also #5566 (comment) which can help pare back the number of times the installer tries to sudo.
