Nack.

Simo and I discussed this a bit on IRC. As Brian says, it's more correct
to use "*" here, since the SSSD doesn't [currently] support shadow NSS
maps. Please make "*" the default.

Also, I'm not sure that this shouldn't just be an undocumented option
(not visible in the manpages). In 99.9% of deployments, there should be
no need to change this value as long as we don't support shadow maps.


Implementation looks fine, though.
