sssd also breaks other LDAP setups, It's extremely broken with larger
LDAP setups because it insists on caching *ALL* of the LDAP, barring
being able to filter to only a smaller set of the LDAP. But because so
many LDAP setups scatter group and user information in so many
distinct parts of the LDAP layout, this never works and it *ALWAYS*
times out in large, remot4e LDAP setups. It works for a few seconds at
start time, then crashes and takes out *all* sssd based services.

The sophisticated setups available by hand-editing sssd are also
*inevitably* overwritten by any use of the 'authconfig' command, which
is used by various RPM '%post' operations. sssd's configuration
options are so poor that they may as well be malicious. It is most
effective in small and unsophisticated network environments. It
suffers from the "systemd" style, sprawling universal management tool
design principles and makes many straightforward operations very
difficult if not impossible.

nscd is a lightweight and *far* more stable tool, and should be used
in preference to sssd wherever possible. An indepent LDAP and Kerberos
toolkit is *far* more stable than sssd.

That's a separate issue. Maybe start a separate thread about that?
