Re: sssd_be crashing with nested ldap groups

Chad,
Thanks for following up.  I actually did follow a bugzilla report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=963235

Turns out to be an actual bug with sssd. Specifically, the issue is not 
triggered by the processing of nested ldap groups, but rather when 
sssd_be encounters any group (nested or otherwise) that contains an 
invalid user object (i.e. as user that has been purged).
