Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6): Bug 1276153

Description of problem:
Uninstalling automount removes sss from nssswitch.conf whereas it should be
only touching the automount line. I suspect it is doing backup/restore at a
very coarse granularity, and possibly restoring it to a time before the ipa
client was installed (instead of the time before automount was setup )
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-client-3.0.0-47.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
Not easily. I've seen it a few times on some systems.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa-client-automount --uninstall
Actual results:
sss is purged entirely from nssswitch.conf
Expected results:
sss should be removed only from the automount line
