Hey Jakub,

Getent passwd returns all of the IPA users when searching either the username or UID.
Yes I know that permissions are defined by UID/GID,  used a new UID that has not been previously used for this new account for this test.

Good to know, I disabled the nscd service.

Here is the output of the strace for chown on a directory.

Is the new user visible on the master itself via the standard system
interfaces (getent passwd $newuser, id $user) ?

Can you strace the chown invocation so that we're sure what part really
fails?

Please note that file ownership is defined by IDs, not usernames, so if
you recreate a user with different ID, you need to chown all his
previously used files.

Using nscd along with SSSD is discouraged. We recommend to disable nscd,
at last for the maps that SSSD caches.

SSSD provides its own fast in-memory cache, so you won't lose
performance.
