Ceph » Orchestrator

Several (all?) ceph orch commands try to sudo even though the current user is already root.

This undesirable and illogical functionality forces all cephadm-managed hosts to have a configuration that is at least on EL7 non-standard with sudoers including the root user; which is even more inconvenient if sudoers is managed via SSSD (since SSSD does not control the root user).

ceph orch and cephadm should not try to sudo if the current user is already root or root user is used for SSH to other cephadm-managed hosts.

Example problem:

cephadm shell -- ceph orch host maintenance enter ceph01.example.com
