---------------------------------------------------------------
This latest version of the patch includes tests.
# It should work on linux, mac os x not so yet due to complexity in parsing
"dscl" output. I'm not sure if it is needed as a target platform, for
development it is of course nice.
# Tests are reliant on a working platform, as mocking it seems unreasonable hard
# Creating the tests required some changes to UserGroupSyncConfig to make some
methods accessible
I would like to some feedback on this.

> The unix user sync currently reads /etc/passwd /etc/groups . This is often
> not a reflection of users and groups available on a system especially when
> nsswitch is configured (eg. sssd, ldap etc).
> Secondly in some cases groups will contain user names that are not returned
> with "getent passwd", especially "external users" and it is required to add
> these using the group information.
