Sorry for jumping in without reading the whole context, but on GNU/Linux 
systems,
nsswitch.conf is used for determining how resolution works for host and user 
names
(among other things), and passwd is usually needed to map names to UIDs.  If 
there's
anything that takes a "which user should I run as" parameter then it'll read 
those
two in the process of looking up the user, for instance.
