https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885758 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6)

Description of problem:
Currently sssd in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, sssd-1.8.0-32.el6, is using
internal implementations to handle user's home directory (tree) removal or
copying.
The libuser package (an user and group account administration library) already
implements functionality to handle these actions.
Therefore sssd instead of having it's own implementation for these actions,
should use relevant libuser API functions for directory tree removal / copying.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.8.0-32.el6
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add / remove user account via sssd
Actual results:
sssd's own remove_tree() / copy_dir() routines are used to handle these
actions.
Expected results:
libuser API ( lu_homedir_remove() / lu_homedir_copy() ) should be used to
handle these actions (same code is implemented more times, without reuse).

We are deprecating the local provider, therefore I propose we close this ticket as wontfix.

Since the local provider is being deprecated, it doesn't make much sense to keep this ticket around which tracks improving the local provider. Closing.
