Summary: Use getent instead of /etc/(passwd|group)

Initial Comment:
/etc/(passwd|group) is accessed directly inside the
OSCAR glue (in particular for the openSSH
configuration). However, it forbid any other
authentification mechanism to work because the
information for those account is not present in the
files but elsewhere (LDAP, NIS(+), ...).

We should use only the "getent" command. By using
getent we will be able to support any authentification
mechanism because the aggregation of data is made based
on every authentification sources.
