+ <command>SSSD</command> provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote
+ directories and authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and
+ PAM interface toward the system and a pluggable backend system to
+ connect to multiple different account sources as well as D-Bus
+ interface. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and
+ policy services for projects like FreeIPA. It provides a more robust database
+ to store local users as well as extended user data.
