Hi,
This is on Ubuntu 16.04 systems configured as FreeIPA clients. Logging in through ssh
is successful. But in /var/log/auth.log there are annoying messages like this:
Aug 18 15:38:02 client1 systemd: pam_sss(systemd-user:account): Access denied for
user joe: 6 (Permission denied)
This only happens for non-local users (i.e. users that are known in FreeIPA).
Is this perhaps a configuration fault in Ubuntu? Or else, is there a way to suppress
this message? I'd like to keep my auth.log as clean as possible.
We've seen similar reports in fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1474899
but haven't had enough time to debug them yet.
An easy way to get rid of the message is to add systemd-user as an
allowed service.
