We should have started a new one. Again, I'm speculating, but I /think/ that because the system might have been under load, the sssd_be took too long to restart and the monitor (sssd itself) gave up on it. Of course, it's something we should fix, but without a better idea how to reproduce the error in the first place, I'm not sure how to start to be honest. > > > Would you mind to share sssd log files with high debug level? > > > > Surely I can increase the log level for sssd.

In future we would like to make heavier use of systemd features, we need to socket-activate the parts as a first step. Using systemd's watchdog would also be nice, but we're not there yet. -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
