Questions regarding the internals of Android's source code are best
asked on a list pertaining to the internals of Android's source code:

No Android application, and I would hope relatively little existing Java
code, would be relying upon /etc/passwd.

If this is some existing Linux app you are trying to get running, again,
you need to ask that question on a different list. This list is for
people developing against the SDK.

If this is indeed an SDK application you are trying to create, could you
explain in greater detail why you need /etc/passwd?
