Good argument, but now you put your thumb on it.

Ceph is not installed on that CentOS VM, it is just for builds when I
can not figure out why Jenkins is giving me pains with a PR.
And to avoid pollution in the info, ceph is natively not installed in
the VM.
But then again on our cluster running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS it isn't there
either. But I'd have to ask the administrators as to why that is.
Seems daemons are running as root.
