I'm building F18 images with livecd-creator on F18 and for the first build attempt after boot, I see many unexpected errors like this snippet shows:

I used to see this behavior for every build attempt prior to sssd coming along when I was still using nscd, if nscd was running. Back then I'd have to stop nscd for the duration of the build. I never had such a problem with sssd, but this looks eerily familiar now with F18 (where I'm still using sssd instead of nscd). Has anyone else seen something similar, or is this a known bug? I have not had a chance to dig into this yet, but I've been seeing this with F18 since before Alpha was out. PS. FWIW, this F18 box started life as F17 and was been yum distro-sync'd and kept updated. -- John Florian
