I think I've made a go of it! I was able to uninstall freeipa-client, and it complained about some leftover files, like so
Removing freeipa-client ... dpkg: warning: while removing freeipa-client, directory '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore' not empty so not removed I deleted and reinstalled, no problem. I now followed the instructions over at this helpful site: http://nadirlatif.me/installing-freeipa-client-debian/ And now I'm joined to the domain! Of course this does not mean all my troubles are over, trying to login as an IPA user drops a "permission denied" error: Creating directory '/share/user'. Unable to create and initialize directory '/user'. Permission denied What can I do to fix that? What am I missing?
