I'd say Kerberos is a lot less prevalent than one would expect
from
reading what happens when someone suggest we not make everything depend
on it. I've been an admin at HP, overseeing thousands and thousands of
HPUX and Linux machines. No Kerberos whatsoever. In fact, of the dozens
of companies, dozens of no-profs, and hundreds of people I've been
involved with on a Linux level, not a single one of them is using
Kerberos, or has any positive response in favor of doing that.
And why ? Because it's a PITA to setup. And it shouldn't have to. Really
if people could remove all the nis/hesiod legacy and focus on making the
"best" techs easy to use we wouldn't be there. It's very close to
pre-HIG Gnome on that point : do everything, and do nothing good.
Right now a RH/Fedora box can plug into lots of different networks but
can drive none of them (easily) which kind of restricts its usage as a
fringe tech in greater wholes managed by something else (and makes in a
no-go fro small networks)
(at least someone dumped the Novell integration at one point)
