[SSSD-users] Experiencing a bug on users' name and ID

I have 300 out of 3000 users whose /home/<username> dir shows uid and gid instead of username and groupname. It seems to be behaving like a bug As soon I become a user with `sudo su - username' the uid of the home dir changes to username but gid still does not change to groupname. I also get an error message, but still successfully become that user $ ls -ld /home/mbniels drwx------. 3 80974 80974 4096 Feb 27 02:15 /home/mbniels $ su - mbniels Last login: Tue Feb 27 02:34:04 UTC 2018 on pts/39 /usr/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 80974 groups: cannot find name for group ID 80974 $ ls -ld /home/mbniels drwx------. 3 mbniels 80974 4096 Feb 27 02:15 /home/mbniels Then to check the groups of username I get another error which then gets cleared by next command. $ groups mbniels mbniels : groups: cannot find name for group ID 80974 80974 users $ getent group mbniels mbniels:*:80974 $ groups mbniels mbniels : mbniels users It also fixes the gid to groupname $ ls -ld /home/mbniels/ drwx------. 3 mbniels mbniels 4096 Feb 27 02:15 /home/mbniels/ I noticed it reverts after may be within half an hour, not exact sure when. Almost behaves like `quantum entanglement'. As soon as I try to check by trying to become that user the issue disappears. This is not just cosmetic issue, when the home dir shows ownership with uid, instead of username, the user fails some commands. We just started noticing today, since we just built this box and only few months ago and users are being invited to start using this server Some annoying error it is showing like below and user then fails to ssh $ ssh remote No user exists for uid 80974 I am using centos 7 and sssd 1.15.2 $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) $ sssd --version 1.15.2 Here are some relevant logs https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/gBaZ-Vr8Urh-M5ABpaRNuA Appreciate any help -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
