Just out of curiosity, did anyone ever get this working under *RHEL7*,
let alone RHEL8?

The bitter irony is that even if you *are* a Kerberos shop (e.g., we
have full LDAP+Kerberos integration with Microsoft Active Directory
via sssd and gssproxy), configuring auditd for Kerberos is still a
complicated kabuki dance.  I attempted to wrap audisp-remote with
gssproxy, but that doesn't disable audisp-remote's checking the
characteristics of the key file.  Even after I set up everything
properly (or so I thought), audit forwarding worked only
intermittently.

I was going to file a "MAKE THIS WORK DAMMIT" Red Hat support case,
but once I stumbled across this bug, I ran shrieking from Kerberized
audit forwarding:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1622194

The only explanation why a memory leak like that could persist for
years in the code is because *no one* is using Kerberized audit record
forwarding.  With all due respects to Steve Grubb, how many other
critical bugs (potentially security-related) are lurking in the
Kerberized audit forwarding code that have never been found, simply
because only people who have to care about the RHEL7 STIG even know
that audisp-remote has Kerberized audit record forwarding
capabilities, let alone have attempted to enable it?

"Services that provide core security features" and "extremely
infrequently-used code paths" aren't two great tastes that taste great
together, unfortunately.
