I have given the package in comment #13 a try. it takes a couple weeks for the problem to get bad enough to trip the monitor we have set up for it, but today is that day:
``` $ dpkg -l | grep sssd ii sssd 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- metapackage ii sssd-ad 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- Active Directory back end ii sssd-ad-common 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- PAC responder ii sssd-common 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- common files ii sssd-ipa 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- IPA back end ii sssd-krb5 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- Kerberos back end ii sssd-krb5-common 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- Kerberos helpers ii sssd-ldap 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- LDAP back end ii sssd-proxy 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.11~ppa1 amd64 System Security Services Daemon -- proxy back end ``` we see today: ``` $ ps axf | grep sssd_be 15972 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto sssd_be 445 ?

Additionally, I hear from my infrastructure departments this is a companywide problem, it is not specific to my nodes. It apparently has something to do with AD sites with multiple sub-domains. We've tried other config fixes like ``` ad_enabled_domains = starbucks.net ignore_group_members = true ``` But nothing helps. Our RHEL and CentOS boxes have 1.16 which contain the fix, they do not experience this problem. However we're not using as many of those boxes anymore. it will be sometime before our 18.04 image is ready for deployment, so it is discouraging that this is WONTFIX. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676328 Title: sssd_be is leaking memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1676328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
