Bug Description

ovs plugin floods auth.log with repeative messages:

Apr 20 06:25:20 pp3 sudo: neutron : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/neutron-rootwrap /etc/neutron/rootwrap.conf ovs-vsctl --timeout=2 --format=json -- --columns=name,external_ids list Interface
Apr 20 06:25:20 pp3 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by (uid=108)
Apr 20 06:25:20 pp3 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

Those messages has no meaning, I think they should be disabled in rsyslog configuration.

Here same bug was fixed by cisco: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-cisco/+bug/1197428

In my installation I fix it by upgrading sudo to trusty version (1.8.3p1-1ubuntu3.6) and adding following lines in /etc/sudoers.d/nova|neutron_sudoers:

Defaults:neutron !requiretty, !syslog, !pam_session

I don't think there is any change in Neutron code that can be done to avoid logging such messages.
