fakepw auth.c question

[Jamaal Speights]

   this is at the bottom of auth.c.  What is it?

   struct passwd *
   fakepw(void)
   {
   static struct passwd fake;
   memset(&fake, 0, sizeof(fake));
   fake.pw_name = "NOUSER";
   fake.pw_passwd =
       "$2a$06$r3.juUaHZDlIbQaO2dS9FuYxL1W9M81R1Tc92PoSNmzvpEqLkLGrK";
   fake.pw_gecos = "NOUSER";
   fake.pw_uid = -1;
   fake.pw_gid = -1;
   fake.pw_class = "";
   fake.pw_dir = "/nonexist";
   fake.pw_shell = "/nonexist";
   return (&fake);
   }
