I have a RHEL 6.6 Server that I am seeing odd behavior with. When I change a password using the passwd
command, the /etc/passwd
file gets updated without issue (confirmed with timestamp check). However, it takes approximately 6 minutes before I can use that new password. This delay exists whether I am using login
, sshd
, or su
.
I inherited this system but I can't find anything customized that is different from other servers that don't show this behavior. AD Bridging is turned on, but the entries are set up to use the files
first before winbind
.
To answer the questions: There is no ncsd
service. sssd
is stopped. The users I am changing are local users, not AD (including the root
user).
sssd
or some other caching service?sssd
is not running, nor isncsd
.
