https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226157 Bug ID: 1226157 Summary: sssd: missing /etc/sssd/sssd.conf Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.6 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: gcomes.obs@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- I use sssd. I normally edit /etc/sssd/sssd.conf in order to configure the package. In Leap 15.6 such file does not exist. I found in the packages sssd the file /usr/lib64/sssd/conf/sssd.conf and, for testing, I made my changes there. When I started sssd.service it didn't start. The presence of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf is required for the service to run although I didn't find any reference in /usr/share/doc/packages/sssd to the fact that the user is now required to create /etc/sssd/sssd.conf from scratch. I then made a copy of /usr/lib64/sssd/conf/sssd.conf to /etc/sssd/sssd.conf and changed it. When I started sssd.service it didn't start. The file /etc/sssd/sssd.conf can be readable only by root, but the file /usr/lib64/sssd/conf/sssd.conf did not have such permission and when I made the copy, /etc/sssd/sssd.conf was world readable as well. After changing the permission of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf I was finally able to start sssd.service. Please does not make such disruptive changes without giving the user indication about what it is required to do (that was not required before) before the program can be used. I suggest to put back /etc/sssd/sssd.conf with proper permission containing only commented lines explaining what and why the changes were made and what the user is supposed to do now. In this way may be other users will not go through the painful trial and error process as I did, before being able to use sssd in Leap 15.6. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
