The man page says this :
NOTE
The user password database mostly refers to /etc/passwd.
However, with recent systems it also refers to network wide databases
using NIS, LDAP and other local files as configured in
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
FILES
/etc/passwd
local password database file
/etc/nsswitch.conf
System Databases and Name Service Switch configuration file
