Yes, it's extremely common in many business and government
environments. All of linux's weird-ass authentication systems are
poorly-reinvented kerberos implementations, with the primary limitations
and pain points directly stemming from unix tropes. Generally someone
comes up with a bad idea, everyone adopts it, and then that bad idea
slowly evolves as closely as it can to being kerberos.
Most commonly, someone will mandate two-factor authentication, and
kerberos tickets (usually via GSSAPI) are the back-end, regardless of
which security tokens (RSA SecurID, smart cards, yubikeys, etc) are
chosen.
