A critical sampling of these files are well documented in man pages. The
following commands will get you started:

  man 5 passwd
  man 5 shadow
  man 5 services
  man 5 hosts
  man 5 inittab

You can try the same with many of the other files in /etc/.

Use www.google.com

type linux and the filename and I am sure you will find plenty of
information.
