    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where endpwent() and endgrent()
    are not file-based.

    The tests for endgrent() (and related) and endpwent() test to see if
    getgrent() and getpwent() are really opening the group and password
    databases.

    There is nothing in the standard that says these databases are
    required to be files. It only requires that the calls return the
    information specified.

    We do not use standard Unix files but rather rely on another security
    facility to provide this information. To test whether getgrent() has
    used an available file descriptor when it has been executed is
    therefore an undefined test that is not required by the standard.
