#992 Create a way to notify an external consumer about changes to the UID/GID
Closed: wontfix 3 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 12 years ago by dpal.

If user or group is deleted or UID/GID is changed the biggest issue is that it can cause a lot of problems with files on the file system. SSSD can actually detect the changes and notify an external service that can periodically scan the system to detect and report abandoned files or files that might require permission changes.
So this ticket is two fold:
a. To provide a way to keep a catalog of the GID/UID and deletion changes for some period of time. Provide a way via a DBUS interface for an external trusted service to ask or be notified about those changes.
b. To create such a service
