su command's return value is wrong when pam_sss is enabled.
Issue
When a command is run via su from root, the exit status is always 0, even if the command fails.
For example:
# service sssd status
sssd (pid 3009) is running...
# su - local_user -c "ls -8" ; echo $?
ls: invalid option -- '8'
Try `ls --help' for more information.
0
# service sssd stop
Stopping sssd: [ OK ]
# su - local_user -c "ls -8" ; echo $?
ls: invalid option -- '8'
Try `ls --help' for more information.

- User
local_useris a local user (from/etc/passwdfile). - If we stop the
sssdservice(or removepam_sssfrom the PAMsessionsection, then the command's exit status is correct.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
