Hi Ben,

this is really great, thank you very much for the contribution! As a
matter of fact, we've been planning on delivering the CIFS plugin as
part of the next release:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1534

Have you found the design page we created?
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/DesignDocs/IntegrateSSSDWithCIFSClient

Mostly the work on our side was done by Sumit Bose (I've CC-ed him). I
would propose to get in touch with him to avoid duplicating some effort.
Unfortunately Sumit is in Germany and there is a holiday so he won't be
available until Monday.

In general, I would suggest to merge this code into the SSSD tree if you
wouldn't mind. I think it would makes sense to have the code in the same
repo as the ID mapping library.

Thanks again for the contribution, much appreciated!
