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 Dmitri Pal 2010-07-09 17:02:46 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #613085 +++

Description of problem:

This isn't really a bug with sssd. Just an implication of using sssd (or a limitation if you like) 

sssd is not supposed to be used with nscd (generates warning in sssd logs).

If using Network Manager (especially in a corporate setting with Spanning Tree and not portfast), it takes a while for the interface to come up. In the meantime services will start. These services will be reading an incorrect or empty resolv.conf (which they never seem to reread). 

Formally (on older Fedora and RHEL) starting nscd would cause the applications resolving to now be correct (as it sits between the app and the base libc resolver functions). Any network changes can be handled by nscd dynamically for all running programs.

The services that this really breaks for us here are the nfs ones:

Jul  9 15:21:33 localhost rpc.statd[1067]: No canonical hostname found for 10.110.45.10
Jul  9 15:21:33 localhost rpc.statd[1067]: STAT_FAIL to navar for SM_MON of 10.110.45.10
Jul  9 15:21:33 localhost kernel: lockd: cannot monitor tay
Jul  9 15:21:33 localhost rpc.statd[1067]: No canonical hostname found for 10.110.45.10
Jul  9 15:21:33 localhost rpc.statd[1067]: STAT_FAIL to navar for SM_MON of 10.110.45.10
etc

So NFS locking is broken on this machine (unless the service is manually started).

Workaround I'm trying is to only enable caching for hosts in /etc/nscd.conf.

I guess this may fix when Ticket #357 "SSSD should replace NSCD" in the upstream:

Verified. 15.2.7.3.3. Problems with NFS and NSCD.
Comment 6 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-11 16:29:58 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
