If you really want to hide it by default, please do not make it an option, but instead check /etc/nsswitch.conf's "passwd", and show "Other" if it is anything but "compat". If you don't want to miss cases, you'd also need to check the PAM configuration, but it gets really hairy at this point. Checking nsswitch.conf will at least catch the common NIS/LDAP cases.
