Summary : A wrapper for the user, group and hosts NSS API
URL : https://cwrap.org/
License : BSD
Description : 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.
:
: To use it set the following environment variables:
:
: LD_PRELOAD=libuid_wrapper.so
: NSS_WRAPPER_PASSWD=/path/to/passwd
: NSS_WRAPPER_GROUP=/path/to/group
: NSS_WRAPPER_HOSTS=/path/to/host
:
: This package doesn't have a devel package cause this project is for
: development/testing.
