Hello,

sorry in advance for the quite long post...

My laptop has no physical lan adapter, so when installing Fedora 30 it bypassed the networking section (and also the hostname setting one).

After first boot in post-install configuration I set up wireless connection and such.

At a certain point, I don't know if due to changing hostname from the default localhost.localdomain that had been set, or due to applied updates, I had strange problems with latencies in sudo responses with great amount of time before asking the password prompt and also when opening menus in gnome, eg settings (about 1 minute before showing the window), and also the battery icon at top right disappeared.... probably due to timeout of the related daemon

I noticed that sssd was automatically configured at boot even if with no configuration files: no sssd.conf, no files in /etc/sssd/conf.d ?

It seems things a bit better after disabling sssd and reinserting localhost.localdomain in /etc/hostname and rebooting, but sudo becomes again sluggish when I connect an usb-c to lan adapter to connect to my work network... and I have

I didn't customize sudoers file and nsswitch.conf contains (with comment autogenerated at 11 May, time of install) at the moment

Any hints to debug, and understand what is it expected to be sssd standard config in Fedora 30?

Thanks,
