FWIW, I think this is the best solution: it would greatly accelerate the vast majority of lookups (all lookups except the initial one, or when an entry changes), but it would sidestep the cache coherency complexity that would result if syncs were disabled. In contrast, adding an option to adjust the sync behavior would get sssd into the business of ensuring cache consistency, which is very difficult to get right. (Filesystem and database designers spend a lot of time addressing these issues.) _______________________________________________ sssd-users mailing list sssd-users@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/admin/lists/sssd-users@lists.fedorahosted.org
