You can't compare 'getent group xxx' with 'groups'. The first lists user names, the second group names.
Perhaps you meant to say that 'groups' and 'groups $USER' are not necessarily the same. The first returns a list that was created at login time, the second an up-to-date list. Good to point that out, especially in connection with my comment #6. However, the main issue here (bug #1049186) concerns incorrect output from "getent group", "getent group grpnm" and "groups foo", all of which (I believe) are supposed to report current information, not information collected at login time. -- 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
