you should maybe use something like this:
	typedef struct {
		uint32 count;
		[size_is(count)] hyper uids[];
	} unixinfo_GetPWUidRequest1;

	typedef [switch_type(int32)] union {
		[case(1)] unixinfo_GetPWUidRequest1 req1;
	} unixinfo_GetPWUidRequest;

	typedef struct {
		utf8string gecos;
		utf8string homedir;
		utf8string shell;
	} unixinfo_GetPWUidInfo1;

	typedef struct {
		uint32 count;
		[size_is(count)] unixinfo_GetPWUidInfo1 infos[];
	} unixinfo_GetPWUidReply1;

	typedef [switch_type(int32)] union {
		[case(1)] unixinfo_GetPWUidReply1 req1;
	} unixinfo_GetPWUidReply;

	NTSTATUS unixinfo_GetPWUid (
		[in,out]		int32 level,
		[in,switch_is(level)]	unixinfo_GetPWUidRequest req,
		[out,switch_is(level)]	unixinfo_GetPWUidReply rep
	);

BTW: all functions should use this toplevel structure, to handle future updates and new info levels

also I think it would make sense to return the domain and account name too.
or maybe add another info level to get this info too
