I think the overwhelming common implementation is AD - at all sizes of organizations from small to large. But most of those will be microsoft-only environments, so aren't particularly relevant to ceph. I don't have good stats on the # of openldap/mit sites - but I imagine many of them either don't care about samba, or have already invested effort in a more or less parallel AD setup. If you're running a lot of microsoft desktops already, you'd have to be pretty passionate to not just run AD and call it a day. For ceph, though, you're talking about linux machines - and there, the attraction for AD is underwhelming. -Marcus Watts -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
