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 ?
