Hi, I run sssd on Linux Mint 15, I received and installed a raft of sssd updates today. I immediately lost the ability to connect to the domain. The problem was that whilst there was a sssd.pid in /var/run/ ps ax didn't show any sssd programs and if you tried to restart sssd, it just hung. The machine would not turn off, you had to hold the power button to stop it. In the end I downloaded 1.10.1 and compiled & installed it over the installed sssd, everything now works again.

Sounds like something to bring up in your distribution bug tracker?
What version did you upgrade to (and from) that was broken? Maybe you hit some bug that was fixed later. _______________________________________________ sssd-devel mailing list sssd-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-devel
Ok, I am not sure what exact ubuntu version of sssd I had, it was 1.9.4-something, Ubuntu issued a raft of sssd updates
libipa-hbac-dev libipa-hbac0 libnss-sss libpam-sss libsss-idmap0 libsss-sudo python-libipa-hbac python-sss sssd-tools
I ended up with version 1.9.4-0ubuntu4.2
Before the updates, sssd worked perfectly, after the update, sssd did not work at all, my pc hung and when I did get back in as a local user, the domain was not visible. Downloading 1.10.1, compiling and installing over the installed sssd packages cured the problem, so the cause must have been the update.
I think the relevant ubuntu bug is 903752, this refers to 'libpwquality' for which a certain 'Timo Aaltonen' provided an update for on the 9/7/2013 and 'Adam Conrad' finally released the fix on 24/8/13, this fix hit my pc on 27/8/13 and made my pc unusable.
I do not have an account at ubuntu to report the bug, so I thought that I would cut out the monkeys and come direct to the organ grinder ;-) , could you please get 'Timo Aaltonen' to talk to 'Adam Conrad' and sort out the problem.
Thanks
