The same patch is attached twice. Was it by accident or did you mean to
send two patches?

You should have sent fixups to get credit, but meh :) Thanks for doing
the work nonetheless.

Is there actually any downside to /always/ reading the config file and
always creating the confdb from scratch? I would say that sssd restarts
are a rare operation and the parsing and writes are not too big to slow
down the startup significantly.
I think the whole mtime logic was there only to allow online config
changes, which is something we tried in the past, but could never code
it up properly.

Can you think of any use for this option? There can be only one sssd on
the system, so I actually wonder if we can remove it..

Updated patch is attached which fixes compilation with libini_config 1.1 (el6)
Config snippets will not be available there
