[Freeipa-users] sssd (CentOS6) known to be unstable?

[Torsten Harenberg]

Dear all,

is the sssd shipped with CentOS6 known to be unstable? In our cluster
approx. 4-5 nodes out of about 200 are dying on a daily basis:

[root at wn113 ~]# /etc/init.d/sssd status
sssd dead but subsys locked
[root at wn113 ~]# /etc/init.d/sssd stop
[root at wn113 ~]# /etc/init.d/sssd start
Starting sssd:                                             [  OK  ]
[root at wn113 ~]# rpm -qi sssd

URL         : http://fedorahosted.org/sssd/
Summary     : System Security Services Daemon
Description :
Provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and
authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and PAM interface toward
the system and a pluggable backend system to connect to multiple different
account sources. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and policy
services for projects like FreeIPA.

The sssd subpackage is a meta-package that contains the deamon as well
as all
the existing back ends.
[root at wn113 ~]#

Is it worth trying to build the latest stable version instead of the one
shipped by the vendor?

Best regards

  Torsten
