Description : 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 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.
