[SSSD-users] Home Directory not being created

getent passwd Guest returns:

guest:*:1596000501:1596000514:Guest:/:/bin/bash

Also, I'm wondering if this has something to do with case sensitivity?
`getent passwd Guest` and `getent passwd guest` return the same result.
Also, I can login with either Guest or guest. Just a thought.
