Nss_wrapper
Jul 20, 2023
##
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.
- Provides information for user and group accounts.
- Network name resolution using a hosts file.
- Loading and testing of NSS modules.
