Dear Malahal,

thanks for the answer. Concerning SSSD, we are also using it, should we use 5.0.2-PTF3? We would like to avoid using 5.0.2.2, as it has issues with recent RHEL 7.6 kernels [*] and we are impacted: do you suggest to use 5.0.3.3?

cheers

leo

Hi Ulrich, Ganesha uses innetgr() call for netgroup information and sssd has too many issues in its implementation. Redhat said that they are going to fix sssd synchronization issues in RHEL8. It is in my plate to serialize innergr() call in Ganesha to match kernel NFS server usage! I expect the sssd issue to give EACCESS/EPERM kind of issue but not EINVAL though. If you are using sssd, you must be getting into a sssd issue. Ganesha has a host-ip cache fix in 5.0.2 PTF3. Please make sure you use ganesha version V2.5.3-ibm030.01 if you are using netgroups (shipped with 5.0.2 PTF3 but can be used with Scale 5.0.1 or later)
Regards, Malahal.

    We see this, too. We cannot trigger it. Fortunately I have managed
    to capture some logs with
    debugging enabled. I have now dug into the ganesha 2.5.3 code and
    I think the netgroup caching is
    the culprit.

    Here some FULL_DEBUG output:

    The client "client1" is definitely a member of the "netgroup1".
    But the NETGROUP_CLIENT lookups for
    "netgroup2" and "netgroup3" can only happen if the netgroup
    caching code reports that "client1" is
    NOT a member of "netgroup1".

    I have also opened a support case at IBM for this.

    @Malahal: Looks like you have written the netgroup caching code,
    feel free to ask for further
    details if required.

    Kind regards,

    Ulrich Sibiller
