Velmurugan Periasamy commented on RANGER-827:
---------------------------------------------
Thanks for confirming [~bolke]. Although Mac won't be a target platform for
typical deployments, it will be the dev env for many developers. Hence it would
be helpful to have a clean build. Skipping tests on Mac is fine. We have to
rely on rangerqa, which seems to be passing, so it should be good.
Would you be able to provide an updated patch? Thanks.

> 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.
