getent
is a handy tool for reading various databases. Most of the databases (eg, passwd, group, hosts, ahosts*, networks, protocols, and services) are available by default or in various interfaces. In addition to allowing use of the getent command, this adds /etc/rpc and /etc/ethers to network-control and network-observe.
