[root at alice ~]# sss_useradd newUser02
[root at alice ~]# getent passwd newUser02
newUser02:x:505:505:newUser02:/home/newUser02:/bin/bash
[root at alice ~]# passwd newUser02
Changing password for user newUser02.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[root at alice ~]#

I've tried this with a couple of different users, using FQDN, etc., but 
always get the same error.

[root at alice ~]# rpm -qi sssd
Name        : sssd                         Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 0.8.0                             Vendor: (none)
Release     : 0.2009102711gitaa5a562.fc11   Build Date: Wed 28 Oct 2009

I added the following to nsswitch.conf
passwd:     files sss
shadow:     files
group:      files sss

sssd.conf is pretty basic.

Found this in sssd.log:
[sssd] [confdb_get_domain_internal] (0): Warning: enumeration parameter 
in LOCAL still uses integers! Enumeration is now a boolean and takes 
true/false values. Interpreting as true
(something that needs fixing, but at the same time not something that 
would cause breakage, afaik)

I don't know where else to look :(
