Code Review
The pull request effectively updates the sssd_krb5_localauth_plugin.8.xml man page to reflect the recent security fix related to the an2ln module. The added details clearly explain why an2ln is disabled in certain SSSD configurations and the potential security implications of name collisions. It also clarifies the behavior when auth_provider = krb5 is used. The documentation is clear, concise, and provides valuable information to users regarding this change.
