In many industrial and retail use cases, 10 years is the low end. 3-5 years is an accounting timeline (for depreciation) not necessarily the useful life of the asset. If the asset can be used after it’s done depreciating that is a bonus for the company using it. Thanks, > On Apr 14, 2022, at

Indeed you are not the only one.  Even in large LDAP shops, there could be a local "break-glass" account, so managing hashes could still be a factor in those environments. One of the pain points of managing a large-scale Puppet infrastructure is supporting different hashes for different OS's.
