No, there is no direct pasing of /etc/passwd or /etc/group from dar. Dar
relies on system calls that will either look in theses files and/or rely
on other source (NIS, NIS+, LDAP...).

The argumentation is that the vaste majority of users do not have NIS,
LDAP or other databases, the system only relies on /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files which most of the time do not have more than 50 lines.
