Hi all,

I'm new to sssd configs and debugging. Recently we have encountered some problems with sssd. Basically 6 out of 50 servers has 'getent passwd' lost all userIDs from LDAP backend, while others are OK.

My sssd is at version 1.8.0-32. the related error messages are attached below. The sssd_nss seems got killed by temporarily network connection problems to backend openLDAP servers. Wonder why? and can we change the backend retry check interval? (see the timestamps for log entries in sssd_nss.log).

Please shed a light. Thanks a lot.
