Just for the record, 'getent group username' and 'groups' should NOT be identical.
Just plain "groups" will list the set of groups that were assigned to you *at login time*, whereas 'getent group username' or 'groups username' gives you the list of groups that would be assigned to you if you logged in right now. So it's expected that they would be different if you changed memberships since logging in. This is standard UNIX behavior, though certainly not what most people would expect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049186 Title: sssd forgets group memberships of foo when foo logs in; remembers them after ten seconds after restarting sssd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1049186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
