Hello,

We are experiencing an issue with a user when they attempt to login. Other 
users can continue to login. It does seem to repeat on this specific user.

If I blitz the SSSD cache and restart it, then they find they can login again.

They indicated that just prior to the event, they were forced to reboot their 
machine (i.e. unclean disconnect) and it was after that they couldn’t login.

This was the successful session just before:

Jun 17 08:00:58 server sshd[11882]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): authentication success; 
logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=<CLIENTIP> user=username
Jun 17 08:00:58 server sshd[11882]: Accepted password for username from 
<CLIENTIP> port 59680 ssh2
Jun 17 08:00:59 server sshd[11882]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for 
user username by (uid=0)
Jun 17 13:22:17 server sshd[11882]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for 
user username

The next session which failed:

Jun 17 13:33:13 server sshd[13210]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): authentication success; 
logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=<CLIENTIP> user=username
Jun 17 13:33:13 server sshd[13210]: pam_sss(sshd:account): Access denied for 
user username: 4 (System error)
Jun 17 13:33:13 server sshd[13210]: Failed password for username from 
<CLIENTIP> port 50114 ssh2
Jun 17 13:33:13 server sshd[13210]: fatal: Access denied for user username by 
PAM account configuration [preauth]

There does not look to be any additional log information in SSSD representing 
the error. The troubleshooting suggested I follow up here for “system error 4”.

It would be tricky to run debug on this, as this took 4 days until the failure 
reappeared and we might fill our log space very quickly.

Thanks
Mark
