opensuse 13.2 / sssd

I've tried before, with some trouble getting the authentication to work correctly. Trying again. Installing a fresh copy of 13.2 on a project room machine Install complete, going into yast to configure network and set up nfs mounting, need to work on wireless connectivity also setting up the wireless password, it is stored in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-w.... whatever the device is wireless working, networking ok, nfs up, had to delete the usr/local btrfs subvolume... perhaps reconsider mounting /usr/local... now kerberos trying yast under user authentication, it seems to be at least installing the right packages for me yuck..., sssd is not something that is working for me, and there is no clear path to fix it... (I had started this a few days ago, but had left it as a draft...)

mint / nscd

So, I've been trying mint and so far not too bad. The gui is a bit different and my ubuntu/debian is rusty, but it is coming back. One headache I had forgotten about is nscd, it caches data, so when you make changes to the authentication system it helpfully returns the old data. blah. I spent a couple hours re-learning that lesson. On the bright side, it looks like mint will work out. This page was useful http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201403/msg00107.html
