#847 Irritating message from sss_useradd if nscd is not installed
Closed: Invalid None Opened 12 years ago by sbose.

If nscd is not installed, and in general we recommend not to use it, sss_useradd will show the following output:

# sss_useradd -u 999 -h /home/user999 -s /bin/bash user999
sh: /usr/sbin/nscd: No such file or directory
sh: /usr/sbin/nscd: No such file or directory

but the user is created.

The tools try to flush the nscd cache by calling 'nscd -i ..' in a system() call. We should either test with stat() if nscd is available or suppress all output from the system() call. I would vote for stat() because the output in general might help the user.

The local provider is not actively developed anymore. When we upstream the work on the files provider, we either deprecate or remove the local provider completely.

In the meantime, I'm moving this ticket into "Patches welcome".
