Summary: test_grp failing

Initial Comment:
Adding this just so it doesn't fall by the roadside (it's been discussed 
on python-dev): test_grp is failing on MacOSX, probably because
there are multiple groups with the same numeric id (didn't 
investigate, though).

The problem is fixed. For reasons unknown the fix isn't needed for pwd: 
getpwuid() returns a * password, just like getpwall().

I checked in test_grp.py 1.15, which will hopefully fix the
problem: Mac OS X returns "*" as the password in
grp.getgrall() and "" in grp.getgrgid(). Does test_grp work
now? Should the same fix be done for test_pwd?

It stil fails, sigh.

I've added the output, maybe that tells you more?

I believe this problem was fixed on all the snake-farm
machines after Walter's last checkins.  Thanks Walter.

Still fails:
  File "/Users/jack/src/python/Lib/test/test_grp.py", line 37, in test_values
    self.assert_(grp.getgrgid(e.gr_gid) in entriesbygid[e.gr_gid])
  File "/Users/jack/src/python/Lib/unittest.py", line 268, in failUnless
    if not expr: raise self.failureException, msg

According to
http://www.lysator.liu.se/xenofarm/python/files/579_3/python-testlog.txt
the problem is not duplicate ids, but duplicate names. I've
changed
test_pwd and test_grp, so that they handle names in the same
way as ids. (test_pwd.py 1.15, test_grp.py 1.14). Does this
fix the problem?

This is failling on several other architectures in the snake
farm:  http://www.lysator.liu.se/xenofarm/python/latest.html
