Enum SyntheticEtcFile 

pub enum SyntheticEtcFile {
    Passwd,
    Group,
}

An /etc file a composed root gets in synthesised form instead of the host’s.

Both are account databases, and both are world-readable on every distribution — so binding the host’s copy hands the capsule the machine’s full account list for no benefit. What a capsule actually needs from them is that getpwuid(3)/getgrgid(3) resolve its own id: a shell’s ~ expansion, os.path.expanduser, whoami, and anything reading $HOME through the password database. Two entries — root and the id the capsule runs as — satisfy all of that.

Variants

Passwd

/etc/passwd, in the seven colon-separated fields of passwd(5).

Group

/etc/group, in the four colon-separated fields of group(5).
