None of them, actually.  PAM does authentication, and NSS handles name
service.  The getpwent(3C) system call (among others) in libc consults
/etc/nsswitch.conf to determine where to find that information.  It never
needs to be set during login; it just always "is".  For example, you could
"cd ~username" for a user that's not logged in, and it could still find
their home directory.
