[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

hello, I installed guix in a HPC environment and everything works as expected if I use guix as a local user. I got this issue when I try to run it as an openldap/sssd-managed user.

example:
[
root <at> frontend ~]# id konrad
uid=10000(konrad) gid=10000(hpc-users) groups=10000(hpc-users)

[root <at> frontend ~]# getent passwd -s sss
konrad:*:10000:10000:Davide Corrado:/home/konrad:/bin/bash

[root <at> frontend ~]# su - konrad
Last login: Thu Mar 28 11:04:07 CET 2024 on pts/0
[konrad <at> frontend ~]$ id
uid=10000(konrad) gid=10000(hpc-users) groups=10000(hpc-users)
[konrad <at> frontend ~]$ guix install hello
user with UID 10000 not found
guix install: error: while creating directory `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/konrad': Permission denied
hint: Please create the `/var/guix/profiles/per-user/konrad' directory, with you as the owner.

I could create the missing /var/guix/profiles/per-user/konrad directory with the proper uid and gid and everything works as expected, but creating a procedure for managing this issue do not look like a clean solution to me. Am I missing something? Am I the only one using guix with such an environment?
