File not appearing from yum install

[Edward Ned Harvey (lopser)]

O great and powerful lopsers, I ask this question of you:

 

yum provides /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

Shows me “sssd-common” is the package that contains that file.

 

So then I install the package, but the file does not appear.

 

I found a related question, that is for ubuntu, not redhat:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/247763/why-is-my-sssd-conf-file-missing-after-installing-sssd

 

I also found a redhat guide for manually typing one in by hand. Maybe this is the standard thing to do? But if so, why does the package above list sssd.conf as one of the files it installs?

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/deployment_guide/about-sssd-conf

I vaguely recall there was a version of the sssd packages from Red Hat that was broken in this fashion (not providing the config file) - you might be hitting that particular version.  I thought they had fixed it pretty quickly, but RH hasn't been as good at back porting their fixes in recent years :/.
