MIR open, current blocker is samba4:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/903752

speaking of which, I've uploaded a new version to precise-proposed (not 
accepted yet), fixing all these bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/sssd

it also bumps the version 1.8.2 -> 1.8.5, so I'd appreciate folks 
testing it, and reporting success or failure on the meta bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/sssd/+bug/1086304

I've also uploaded it to a ppa so you can install it from there until 
it's available on the main archive:
