I naively like the functionality being available, but if I'm skimming
this correctly it looks like you're relying on the local node being
able to passwordless-ssh to all of the nodes, and for that account to
be able to access the ceph admin sockets. Granted we rely on the ssh
for ceph-deploy as well, so maybe that's okay, but I'm not sure in
this case since it implies a lot more network openness.

Relatedly (perhaps in an opposing direction), maybe we want anything
exposed over the network to have some sort of explicit permissions
model?

Maybe not and we should just ship the script for trusted users. I
would have liked it on the long-running cluster I'm sure you built it
for. ;)
Indecisively yours,
