So Trellix did not accept this as a bug in their healthcheck script. We
put in a RFE with tem to do this healthcheck invocation using setpriv or
su -c. Which doesn't trigger the LDAP queries.
Now we have an open case with RH Tech Support on this. Basically, when
sudo is invoked as root and we have early in the /etc/sudoers file:
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
and then later on in /etc/sudoers file we have:
## Read drop-in files from /etc/sudoers.
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
then sudo should not be making group membership queries to enumerate all
the various AD groups in /etc/sudoers.d/* files. which is triggering
multiple LDAP queries on thousands of servers -- all on the hour and
half-hour.

If they are root and want to drop privileges then they would be better
served by runuser or setpriv. …
…or start out as non-root user to begin with…
(It’s a peeve of mine when security companies don’t follow best practice
of elevating only if absolutely necessary.)
