That's a different issue.  In general the design should be
that tha parent winbindd process always hits cache first
and only calls out to a child process when the cache is
empty or expired.  This is more in line with the original
dual-daemon design Tridge implemented.  Which I think
would work really well with the state machine model we
have now.

So it's not just the idmap cache that needs to be readable,
but the entire cache manager should be moved to the parent.
