"Please do NOT use “ceph” as the user name. A uniform user name across the cluster may improve ease of use (not required), but you should avoid obvious user names, because hackers typically use them with brute force hacks"

@munin "Starting with the Infernalis release the “ceph” user name is reserved for the Ceph daemons." THERE'S AN ACTUAL REASON AFTER THAT.
But for some reason "don't; it's reserved" wasn't cool enough.
Pfft. Weaksauce nonsense. Stuff like that leads to folksec inaccuracies.
