I believe [u]nscd is deprecated for RHEL/CENTOS. I'm not sure about
other distros. My Arch Linux distro installs glibc nscd by default.
I'm by no means an sssd expert; however, from a quick cursory look
http://serverfault.com/questions/534791/what-are-the-dependencies-of-sssd-nscd-to-function
it appears sssd may have dependencies that may not be desirable for
some systems. This is of course debatable.
I use unscd in my Buildroot system so I thought I would share what
is working for me since unscd was not an available package. I'm okay
with this patch not being accepted in favor of sssd.
