But as said the packages are not needed on a general AD client. Only if Samba and/or Winbind are used either sssd-libwbclient (winbind not running) or sssd-winbind-idmap (winbind is running) are needed. So for the time being I would prefer to not pull in one of the package automatically to keep e.g. the container images small. Please note that we are working with some Samba developers on how winbind and SSSD can work better together in future. We have just started so it is currently not clear what will be the results but of course it should be easy for a user to configure a Samba server without having to think about which package to install in which situation. bye, Sumit _______________________________________________ sssd-devel mailing list sssd-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/admin/lists/sssd-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org
