I have Ubuntu 16.04 servers and workstations which are members of an Active Directory domain, using PowerBroker PBIS Open versions 8.5.0.153 and 8.6.0.427. When I try to add a local group using groupadd someNewGroup I see it stuck at 100% CPU. If I specify a group number explicitly with -g then it works fine.
On two other virtual hosts which are actually Proxmox 4.4 containers - a CentOS 7 with PBIS 8.5.0 and Ubuntu 16.04 with PBIS 8.5.2.265 I can add and delete local groups freely with no issues.
With strace I see the that it's stuck after performing a seek on /etc/group:
open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 8
open("/etc/default/nss", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 9
fstat(9, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1756, ...}) = 0
read(9, "# /etc/default/nss\n# This file c"..., 4096) = 1756
read(9, "", 4096) = 0
close(9) = 0
futex(0x7f2aaefa9a50, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
lseek(8, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
fstat(8, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=882, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 882, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 8, 0) = 0x7f2ab0764000
lseek(8, 882, SEEK_SET) = 882
What's wrong here? How can I get groupadd to work properly?
