[Bug 1764778] Re: Problems with SSSD + pam mount

[Andreas Hasenack]

This permission denied error looks relevant:

Apr 23 09:50:12 CLIENT gnome-shell[3975]: failed to commit changes to
dconf:
GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._g_2dfile_2derror_2dquark.Code2:
Failed to rename file “/home/USER/.config/dconf/user.ZHTTHZ” to
“/home/USER/.config/dconf/user”: g_rename() failed: Permission denied

Did you sanitize this log and replace the real user with "USER"?

Can you verify if you can do simple file operations in that directory?
Create a file, mv it to another name in the same path, *as* the user
(not root or somebody else)?

Also confirm that the user processes are owned by the same uid/gid then the files in /home/$user. Maybe you have a uid/gid mismatch between the userid who owns the files in the fileserver, and what sssd gives that user in the remote machine. You can use "ps fauxw", "getent passwd <user>", 
"ls -ln" to check the numeric uids/gids.

Are there symlinks involved in this networked /home setup?
