Hi,
I prepared release notes for today's release. They are written in
anticipation that PR#186 with the subdomain config will be merged.
The RST I pushed to the sssd/docs repo is below:
SSSD 1.15.2
===========
Highlights
----------
* It is now possible to configure certain parameters of a trusted domain
in a configuration file sub-section. In particular, it is now possible
to configure which Active Directory DCs the SSSD talks to with a
configuration like this::
[domain/ipa.test]
# IPA domain configuration. This domain trusts a Windows domain win.test
[domain/ipa.test/win.test]
ad_server = dc.win.test
* Several issues related to socket-activating the NSS service, especially
if SSSD was configured to use a non-privileged user were fixed. The NSS
service now starts as root to avoid triggering a name-service lookup
while the NSS service is not running yet. Additionally, the NSS service
is started before any other service to make sure username resolution works
and the other service can resolve the SSSD user correctly.
So, this part is not exactly accurate.
NSS responder always been only used as root. What we did is not
changing the owner of the nss log file for the socket-activated NSS
responder.
My suggestion is: "(...). The NSS service now doesn't change the
ownership of its log files to avoid triggering (...)"
