Description of problem: The package lists /etc/sssd/sssd.conf as one of the files it will install, but no such file is installed. rpm -qV sssd doesn't show any issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sssd-1.8.4-13.fc16.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install sssd 2. rpm -ql sssd | grep sssd/sssd.conf 3. ls -la /etc/sssd/ Actual results: 2. /etc/sssd/sssd.conf 3. total 16 drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 19:37 ./ drwxr-xr-x. 184 root root 12288 Sep 26 03:35 ../ Expected results: 2. /etc/sssd/sssd.conf 3. total 16 drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 19:37 ./ drwxr-xr-x. 184 root root 12288 Sep 26 03:35 ../ -rw-------. ??? root root ????? ???????????? sssd.conf Additional info: I tried a yumdownloader , then rpm2cpio sssd*rpm > sssd.cpio, and then cpio -itv < sssd.cpio | grep sssd.conf. the file isn't there. It surprises me that rpm -ql shows the file anyway, or that rpm -qV doesn't consider the missing file as a problem. So either the package's SPEC file is wrong, or the file is missing. I'm guessing from other reports that previous versions of the package included the file, so I think it is missing. (There is an example sssd.conf file in /usr/share/doc/sssd-version.)

This is on purpose. The file is marked in the specfile as %ghost which means that the file is owned by the package even though it doesn't in fact exist. Please either modify the example config file in the docs directory or use a tool such as as authconfig{,-gtk} to configure the SSSD.
