I assume you mean Samba upstream. Please see the discussion on this list
in 2014 in the '[Review Request] libwbclient-sssd' thread
(https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2014-May/099676.html).

Since the sss idmap plugin requires that SSSD is running I think the
same arguments apply here as well.
