I have finally found some time to look into this, and turns out, it's not a problem anymore (with 18.04 at least). If I set the local user back to normal (so it does appear in the greeter), GDM works normally (it will display the user list, without any freezing). Of course, you cannot log into the

But the terminal login shouldn't suffer from this root-can't-read-home, should it? Didn't you experience this there as well? If the problem is indeed root-squash, then the login should also fail without autofs. Just mount the home directory first. Can you get this down to a very simple test case

We're using SSSD. LDAP does not use authentication for search. In the mean time we already upgraded to 18.04 and I'm not sure if the bug persists (but will try it again and post the results here - the workaround is still in place). The issue seems to be with the home directory being mounted from

2018-06-04 Thread Andreas Hasenack
How do you fetch your users from ldap, using sssd? Or nss_ldap? Or something else? Does that need authentication, or are anonymous searches allowed? Does the mount()ing work if you temporarily create the user locally in /etc/{passwd,group,shadow} but not his/her home directory? This bug is a bit

This bug seems not to be related to GDM at all. This is a problem either with automount, or mount.nfs4. I did spend some time today digging around this and found out that the hang lasts for several minutes, but then the system springs back to life and the user list in the greeter will get
