Description Tom Hughes 2017-07-19 08:31:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

A newly installed F26 system has sss and systemd enabled for various databases in nsswitch.conf but USESSSD=no is not set in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig and I don't think authconfig knows anything about systemd.

So the default nsswitch.conf has, for example:

passwd:      sss files systemd
shadow:     files sss
group:       sss files systemd

but after running "authconfig --updateall" that becomes:

passwd:    files
shadow:    files
group:     files
