The only file getent should care about is nsswitch.conf Does the script run as that particular user? Also, I think Ubuntu runs a different shell, maybe that would make a difference in a script. The other things to try would be stracing the getent to see if the getent actually reaches the SSSD and checking the sssd_nss logs to reference the lookup. _______________________________________________ sssd-devel mailing list sssd-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-devel
