Hello sssd-devel & linux-nfs,
This is v2 of the patch set. It is now sent to linux-nfs as weel, following
Steve Dickson request.
The code in the next 5 patches implements the design document:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/DesignDocs/rpc.idmapd%20plugin
The changes in the code (compared to v1) are following the review done in
sssd-devel.
I believe that there are still two items in dispute (no final verdict was given
in the sssd mailing list) but this new patch set will give a chance to have a
cleaner look on things.
I have a couple of minor suggestions about the patches (mostly style
issues), I'm going to reply to the patches themselves. I haven't yet
done any testing, just visual review and sanity testing of the patches
(make, make check, make distcheck, make rpms)
But more importantly, I wonder what the benefit for an administrator would
be over using libnfsidmap/nsswitch.so ? Since the names must be fully
qualified the raw getpwnam() interface would yield the same usernames as
the sssd module, right? Is it perhaps better multi-domain support ?
