[sudo-users] can I prevent sudo on Solaris from performing ldap searches for local users?

Thanks Todd!
By the way, it looks like we’re using a rather old build of sudo:
pkginfo -l SMCsudo
PKGINST: SMCsudo
NAME: sudo
CATEGORY: application
ARCH: sparc
VERSION: 1.6.8p4
BASEDIR: /usr/local
VENDOR: Todd Miller et al
PSTAMP: Steve Christensen
INSTDATE: Jul 25 2014 22:50
EMAIL: steve at smc.vnet.net
STATUS: completely installed
FILES: 34 installed pathnames
5 shared pathnames
2 linked files
9 directories
3 executables
1 setuid/setgid executables
883 blocks used (approx)
I had previously tried adding both local users (the one performing the sudo and the target user) to /etc/user_attr in this fashion:
nsmail::::
nagios::::
Which seemed to quiet things down a bit but did not completely stop the lookups, both the one where it’s searching on objectclass=SolarisUserAttr and also where it appears to be trying to enumerate groups:
filter: (&(objectclass=posixgroup)(memberuid=nsmail)) attr list: cn, gidNumber, userpassword, memberUid
Also I’m not sure if a restart of any services such as ldap-client or clearing nscd user_attr cache might be required to pickup the change so I need to test further …
My goal is to have 0 ldapsearches triggered by sudo between two local users if possible … I’m hoping to find the magic config for this as that would be easier to push out but if I need to rebuild a new package from source, I’m happy to go that route ultimately (especially since our version is old anyway).
Thanks,
Josh
