Update the package to the linux kernel, as this bug affects multiple services.
** Package changed: sssd (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620744 Title: sssd/ntpd/postfix + overlayfs startup failure: Could not open file [/var/log/sssd/sssd.log]. Error: [13][Permission denied] Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: If an attempt is made to mount an overlay filesystem over the /var/log directory, this causes sssd to refuse to start up. The startup fails at the point where sssd attempts to write to its logfiles: sssd: Could not open file [/var/log/sssd/sssd.log]. Error: [13][Permission denied] sssd is running as root, and should have no problem writing to logfiles. Removing the -f option from sssd causes sshd to not attempt to write to /var/log/ssshd/ssshd.log and sshd startup succeeds. Running sssd without any flags logs to syslog, and this works correctly, logging to /var/log/syslog on the overlayfs filesystem. Removing the file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.sssd causes sssd to start up correctly, logging to the overlayfs /var/log/sssd directory without an issue. Looks like the apparmour configration for sssd breaks when an overlayfs is present.
