nss_wrapper - A wrapper for the user, group and hosts NSS API
- 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
