#3577 ipa-client-install removes 'sss' from /etc/nsswitch.conf
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by mkosek.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 953453

Because of the way that glibc does not reload /etc/nsswitch.conf we decided
(back in Fedora 18) to always have 'sss' in /etc/nsswitch.conf. At least until
a better fix could be found.

It is installed by default by glibc on a newly installed /etc/nsswitch.conf,
and should always be present.

However ipa-client-install --uninstall removes 'sss' from /etc/nsswitch.conf.
This causes problems with later uses of sssd.

We should use the following options when calling authconfig:

  • Client install should authconfig with: --enablesssdauth --update --enablesssd
  • Client uninstall should authconfig with: --disablesssdauth --update
