Public bug reported: Ubuntu release: 12.04 LTS Package release: sssd 1.8.2-0ubuntu1 (amd64)
There is a problem using su to switch to local accounts over sssd (in this case with an ldap backend). The su session or command will work, but will produce an error status on exit (or completion). The local accounts are present in the sssd.conf "filter_users" directive so that they are supposed to be ignored at the NSS level. What is expected to happen: # su - localaccount localaccount@hostname:~$ exit logout # echo $? 0 What happens: # su - localaccount localaccount@hostname:~$ exit logout su: User not known to the underlying authentication module # echo $? 1 In /var/log/auth.log this error is recorded: Jun 4 23:00:45 hostname su[23930]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user localaccount Jun 4 23:00:45 hostname su[23930]: pam_close_session: User not known to the underlying authentication module ** Affects: sssd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012900 Title: Using SSSD, PAM error when exiting su session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1012900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
