Sorry I got back to you after long delay. The design document looks good
to me, I only have one question: do you think there is value in having
separate enabled_delay and first_delay? Can we unify them?
Hi,
the answer is yes. For example consider enumeration. When the system is fresh and no
enumeration was done yet, we want to do it immediately to fill the cache (first_delay =
0), but keep enabled_delay say 10. But if SSSD is started and enumeration was already done
at least once, we want to delay the first enumeration 10 seconds, so we don't prolong
system startup. The same applies for sudo first full refresh.
The other question is whether we want to use the ability to disable the task with
enumeration and sudo. The use case is to refresh the cache after we reconnect to LDAP
server, but I'd leave the discussion for the future when we will convert the old
timers for this API.
Can you add some comments to the header file (copied from the design
page) ?
Sure, I just waited till the design page gets full ack.

BTW It is fully tested and working. I think I made slight changes and fixed one or two
bugs. The current version can be found in nss-periodic branch of my fedora people repo.

The code looks good to me after first read, but can you use the same
file prefix as the rest of the generic interface files? (dp_ not be_).
Good question. Can I? :-)
The function namespace is be_* so it is correct to have the file also named be_. We may
want to do the other change instead (dp -> be)? But I'll do it, if you insist.
