It's a very simple tool to create system users and group in /etc/passwd.
It just creates entries in/etc/{passwd,group,shadow}, and does not
interact with audit in any way afaik.

Does it perform any locking or cache invalidation?

It appears to do locking:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/sysusers/sysusers.c#L1953

which is calling:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/basic/user-util.c#L548

which takes a write lock on /etc/.pwd.lock around everything.
Ack.

Cache invalidation? I'm not sure what you mean, it just replaces the
file atomically and syncs the file system.

Well historically nscd I guess though I think sssd is supposed to
have replaced that now?

I believe sssd watches the files with inotify and does it's own
cache invalidation - a quick test with strace suggests it notices
when I edit the groups file with vi.
