Ambiguity Within "/etc/passwd" And "/etc/group" Tooling

[p0da]

Feature request description

Currently --group-entry and --passwd-entry function differently in relation to the --user flag, contrary to the documentation. Namely while the --userns flag enables --passwd-entry to function as expected, it does not enable --group-entry to function at all, with only --user seemingly enabling --group-entry to work.

This is only made more confusing by the existence of the --passwd flag whose function seems to disable appending to both /etc/passwd and /etc/group but is documentated as if it were a prequiste to the --*-entry flags.

Suggest potential solution

Removal of all prerequisites on --*-entry flags enabling them to work all conditions; the user should be expected to understand the implications of these flags and the adverse effects to their containers if they use them incorrectly.

Clarifying documentation of --passwd flag

Have you considered any alternatives?
