Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Jakub Hrozek 2011-03-22 17:58:55 UTC
Description of problem:
when performing initgroups in the IPA provider, only the user we are performing initgroups for is stored in cache.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-14.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. start with clear cache
1. log in as user who is a member of a group that contains at least one other user
2. run id to get the list of the groups
3. getent passwd <group> only shows the user you are logged in as
  
Actual results:
getent group does not show all users

Expected results:
all users are reported

Additional info:
The root cause is storing the group as not expired even when not all the members are present in the cache. Next time getgrnam/getgrgid is called, the group is not refreshed with the other members and just returned.

Comment 4 Namita Soman 2011-04-07 15:39:33 UTC
sgallagh stopped by...and i realized i hadn't started with step 0 - clean cache. With a clean cache, verified successfully that the group listed all its users
