uh I'm just guessing at this point so be aware this might be completly wrong.

I guess it's only needed for uid<->names mapping within the scponlyc chroot().
Under normal circumstances the authenfication should happen on the outside
where the sshd is running. So you might be able to remove it but then you
should only see files with uids on ls.

I just say it again, this is a guess!
