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.
