If I use SSSD on CentOS with an LDAP domain, do tools like useradd, groupmod, and passwd affect LDAP users/groups, or do they only affect the ones in /etc/passwd and /etc/group?
I'd prefer the latter, but I'm not sure whether this is something that can be configured. I know there are also luseradd and lgroupmod, but I'm using a tool (Ansible) that relies on the standard commands.
Thanks, Jacob

The shadow-utils tools only affect the local UNIX files. The luseradd and lusermod are IIRC from libuser which has some form of LDAP support although I'm a bit fuzzy on the details.
