One thing it can be used for is offline authentication for LDAP users.  I am
currently using sssd on a Funtoo laptop for this purpose.  When I have no
network access (no access to the LDAP server), my users can still log in.

As I said, I cannot think of anything that sssd can do that winbind
doesn't, or to put it it another way, you can do that with winbind. See
here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/PAM_Offline_Authentication

It looks like I'd need to have a Windows domain (could be via Samba) to
make that work.  Is that correct?  I've got Linux-only LDAP authentication,
so I'm not using a domain.



Whilst it does work with an AD domain, I am sure it will work with a samba ldap system. If you look at the bottom of the page I linked to, it was last updated in 2007 and Samba 4 didn't exist then :-)
