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.

Comment 5 Amith 2017-11-30 16:11:37 UTC

Verified the bug on SSSD Version : sssd-1.16.0-7.el7.x86_64

Steps followed during verification:

1. Install an older sssd build, for example sssd-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8, to reproduce the problem.

2. Configure sssd.conf as follows:

[sssd]
config_file_version = 2
services = nss, pam
domains = LDAP
debug_level = 0xFFF0
try_inotify = false

[pam]

[domain/LDAP]
debug_level = 0xFFF0
id_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://hubcap.lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com
ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/openldap/certs/cacert.asc

3. Start SSSD service and grep for inotify in sssd.log file. You should see the typo error.

# grep inotify sssd.log
[sssd] [sss_ini_call_validators] (0x0020): [rule/allowed_sssd_options]: Attribute 'try_inotify' is not allowed in section 'sssd'. Check for typos.
[sssd] [sss_ini_call_validators] (0x0020): [rule/allowed_sssd_options]: Attribute 'try_inotify' is not allowed in section 'sssd'. Check for typos.

4. Upgrade SSSD to the latest version and restart sssd service.

# rpm -q sssd
sssd-1.16.0-7.el7.x86_64

5. Repeat the grep command and the typo error vanished.

# grep inotify sssd.log
[sssd] [snotify_watch] (0x2000): Opened inotify fd 0
[sssd] [_snotify_create] (0x0400): Added a watch for /etc/resolv.conf with inotify flags 0x8D88 internal flags 0x1 using function resolv_conf_inotify_cb after delay 1.0
[sssd] [watch_ctx_destructor] (0x2000): Closing inotify fd 0
