> The unix user sync currently reads /etc/passwd /etc/groups . This is often
> not a reflection of users and groups available on a system especially when
> nsswitch is configured (eg. sssd, ldap etc).
> Secondly in some cases groups will contain user names that are not returned
> with "getent passwd", especially "external users" and it is required to add
> these using the group information.
