Unable to add user to a group due to sssd?
I'm working on Fedora 29 x86_64 fully patched. I'm trying to add my user to the dialout group so I can open the modem:
$ ls -Al /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Feb 22 19:27 /dev/ttyUSB0
$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout jwalton
(Fri Feb 22 19:32:11:373072 2019) [sss_cache] [confdb_get_domains] (0x0010): No
domains configured, fatal error!
Could not open available domains
usermod: sss_cache exited with status 2
usermod: Failed to flush the sssd cache.
According to the Fedora boards at Error when inserting user in a group, one can remove SSSD. This is where the confusion arises.
The Fedora message does not state why SSSD is installed or why it is not configured to allow one to modify groups. In addition removing SSSD looks heavy weight to me.
And according to the sssd(8) man page, "SSSD provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms." The description makes SSSD's role even more confusing since sudo works and I'm not doing anything with remote directories.
I'd like to know if there is a way to modify a user's groups without uninstalling software or configuring software. I guess I'd like to know how to go back to the old days where things "just worked" as expected.

Good call, hopefully you'll get a useful response there. If you're not using remote accounts (LDAP, AD, etc.) then sssd isn't really doing much important on your system... It still should work, but you won't miss it in that case. Good luck with the Bugzilla!
