I created a user using the !InfoPipe !CreateUser interface. Its internal representation in the LDB is:

dn: name=myinfpuser225,cn=users,cn=LOCAL,cn=sysdb
objectClass: user
name: myinfpuser225
uidNumber: 1011
gidNumber: 1011
fullName: INFP User
homeDirectory: /home/myinfpuser
loginShell: /usr/infshell
createTimestamp: 1236694637
distinguishedName: name=myinfpuser225,cn=users,cn=LOCAL,cn=sysdb

When I run 'getent passwd myinfpuser225' I get back:

er225@LOCAL:x:1011:1852406125::/home/myinfpuser:/usr/infshell

You used a pre-1.2.0 nss client with a new sssd daemon.
That kind of stuff happens because your client is still expecting some calues to be 64 bit in length when they are 32 bit.
Make sure you install all components from the same build.

Simo was correct. I was running with the wrong NSS client library. Closing this bug as WORKSFORME.

resolution: => worksforme
status: new => closed
