RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
accountsservice.service should be loaded after nss-user-lookup.target

If a gdm autologin user is authenticated using NIS and has it's home directory on NFS, it's '/var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER' file gets overwritten on reboot. This issue was worked around by using below config file :

# cat /etc/systemd/system/accounts-daemon.service.d/nis-order-fix.conf
[Unit]
After=ypbind.service
After=nss-user-lookup.target
Wants=nss-user-lookup.target

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
accountsservice-0.6.35-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Additional info:
Upstream patch at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/commit/?id=3d6d125917073b06849c336c93e475a5a43c0dd9

note if we don't fix ypbind, to get started before nss-user-lookup.target then we'll need to have After=ypbind.service as well (like mentioned in the workaround in comment 0).

accountsservice is on the ACL now so devack+
