We use the MIT Kerberos for both it and AFS. As you can see we have
just over 20,000 principals:
root@kerberos-1> wc -lwc dbase <--- text dump of DB
20020 240240 1484174 dbase
Of course, the dbm file *looks* much bigger:
-rw------- 1 root 32768 Jan 12 17:29 principal.dir
-rw------- 1 root 242170880 Jan 17 19:05 principal.pag
but, it's actual size about 1/10 of that:
root@kerberos-1> du -s principal.pag
20928 principal.pag
(It does look like dbm might crap out around 200,000 principals)
