[Samba] Caching user accounts on a Linux portable

[mathias dufresne]

Samba can suit much configurations, wiki shows only a few.

Perhaps you'll find information there, I just had a look on that page, not
read it carefully.
https://www.oostergo.net/node/87

Anyway there is:
# Allow offline logins by locally storing password hashes (default: false).
cache_credentials = true

to add to your SSSD domain section.

Cheers,
