Tests for twisted.python.fakepwd.

Function findInvalidUID No summary
Class UserDatabaseTestsMixin No summary
Class UserDatabaseTests Tests for UserDatabase.
Class PwdModuleTests PwdModuleTests runs the tests defined by UserDatabaseTestsMixin against the built-in pwd module. This serves to verify that UserDatabase is really a fake of that API.
Class ShadowDatabaseTestsMixin No summary
Class ShadowDatabaseTests Tests for ShadowDatabase.
Class SPwdModuleTests SPwdModuleTests runs the tests defined by ShadowDatabaseTestsMixin against the built-in spwd module. This serves to verify that ShadowDatabase is really a fake of that API.
def findInvalidUID():

By convention, UIDs less than 1000 are reserved for the system. A system which allocated every single one of those UIDs would likely have practical problems with allocating new ones, so let's assume that we'll be able to find one. (If we don't, this will wrap around to negative values and eventually find something.)

Returnsa user ID which does not exist on the local system. Or, on systems without a pwd module, return SYSTEM_UID_MAX.
