The same can be said of any > of the NSS backend. The daemon not running is internally a NSS_STATUS_TRYAGAIN + EAGAIN[1], i.e. that is what the sssd nss plugin should return to glibc. glibc then should return that as a NOTFOUND, which for getgrent is a NULL return without errno set. I don't see why ENOENT is necessary. Siddhesh [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/NSS-Modules-Interface.html
