Description-en: NSS wrapper library
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,
for example 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.
