The files provider mirrors the content of the
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>passwd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>group</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>
files. The purpose of the files provider is to make the users
and groups traditionally only accessible with NSS interfaces
also available through the SSSD interfaces such as
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>sssd-ifp</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>.
