Does anybody know what sssd is good for?

This is often used together with Samba to make userids of pure Active
Directory users known to the Linux of the domain controller.

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Sssd

The samba developers recommend to use winbindd for this function. But
there are cases when this does not exactly do what the admins want.
Then they often switch to sssd.

Care to expand on what sssd does that winbind doesn't ?

I do not use it myself, only read about it on the samba mailinglist.
You can probably tell much more precisely what sssd is, than I can.
Just wanted to make sure that before devuan leaves it away, they should consider that some samba users want it. I should have added that because winbind improves with time, sssd will probably be less used in the future.
