---------------------------------------------
[~bolke] - Sorry for the delay. Will provide feedback once I take a look at
this patch. In the meanwhile, it would be helpful if you can update with the
testing performed for this patch.
-- Env tested (OS version, AD/LDAP etc)
-- Scenarios tested (initial sync, user addition, update etc)
-- Plan for ranger admin authentication
Thank you for your contribution.

> The unix user sync currently reads /etc/passwd /etc/groups . This is often
> not a reflection of users and groups available on a system especially when
> nsswitch is configured (eg. sssd, ldap etc).
> Secondly in some cases groups will contain user names that are not returned
> with "getent passwd", especially "external users" and it is required to add
> these using the group information.
