There are projects which provide daemons needing to be able to create, modify
|
|
and delete Unix users. Or just switch user ids to interact with the system e.g.
|
|
a user space file server. To be able to test that you need the privilege to
|
|
modify the passwd and groups file. With nss_wrapper it is possible to define
|
|
your own passwd and groups file which will be used by software to act correctly
|
|
while under test.
|
|
|
|
If you have a client and server under test they normally use functions to
|
|
resolve network names to addresses (dns) or vice versa. The nss_wrappers allow
|
|
you to create a hosts file to setup name resolution for the addresses you use
|
|
with socket_wrapper.

- Network name resolution using a hosts file.
|
