My customer currently builds minimal custom Debian packages disabling netlink
support because it does not make sense in a data center.
But in general using OS-provided packages would be preferred. And not having to
muck with starts scripts provided by this packages would be appreciated too.
=> IMHO such an option in sssd.conf for disabling netlink support completely
would be useful.
