Comment 25 for bug 1620771

>What this in fact shows is that something is trying to access /home/server/files/ and is denied access.

Yes, I figured that bit out..... the question is why.

>Do you perhaps have users who have a home directory of /home/server/files?

Not as far as I am aware - see below.

I do have one 'local' user in

/home/localadmin

That accounts is no SSSD and used for local administration only.

>Or, are there symlinks somewhere pointing to /home/server/files as the target?

Not as far as I am aware

>From your description of your setup, it is not expected that snaps are trying to access /home/server/files directly.

No they should be accessing a user directory which make it even more peculiar.

Each user that logs in has a /home/server/files/users directory with all local files.

They also have one Mounts directory in their home that has mapped shares on the server that are added with SSSD/Pam. When you log out they are disconnected.

This should be correct, but clearly something doesn't agree.
