Bug#770375: RFA: nss-wrapper -- NSS wrapper library
Package: wnpp
I request an adopter for the nss-wrapper package. (Note that RFA != O.
Talk to me before taking over this package.)
The package description is:
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.
