Patch looks fine to me. Ack.

As far as RHEL 5 support, I'd like to see us maintain compatibility 
with it for the lifetime of 1.9.x at least (since we're pretty much 
there anyway). Perhaps now would be a good time to decide that SSSD 
1.10 and later will formally drop support for RHEL 5 (unless a 
third-party contributor decides to own and maintain it).
