[Freeipa-users] Re: SSSD not starting

[Sean Hogan]

Hi Jakub

Thanks and it does not come off that way at all.  I made the same
recommendations.  I can only control the IPA servers and they are at 6.9
but the typical reason for not moving up... app not tested on higher level.

I'm sorry if this comes off as less than helpful, but unless you have a
critical reason to use 6.7, please upgrade to 6.8 or even 6.9. You don't
have to upgrade the whole distro, but at least the sssd stack.

There was a ton of bugfixes between 6.7 and 6.8..

This is a bug in the sssd_pac responder. I couldn't find any related
bug report upstream or in RHBZ, but I would really suggest upgrading
first.

If the sssd_pac service still crashes, then we need to investiage the
problem further. Seeing that you're using ppc, chances are there might be
an endianess issue, but I can't think of any recent one.
