What you're looking for eixts and is called the "name service switch". Not all Unices have this though. On Linux this depends on what version of libc you have. On Solaris it's been there for some time (at least since 2.5.1). Etc... But I bet that you'll find the getpwnam() interface too old and too inflexible anyways. A new API is needed.
