Also, it's even less secure than the ssh solution.
I'm inclined to think that the Swift UFO server — which is the client in this case — would be in the same private, firewalled network with the rest of the gluster storage nodes.
If that's the case then perhaps I would be less concerned that the gluster CLI is insecure or that the Swift UFO server is in a peer-list on the storage servers or that someone is using keys with nil passwords.
I do like using the gluster cli instead of ssh in this situation, and installing the gluster-server package on the Swift UFO node isn't too burdensome. In fact to facilitate it we probably ought to make glusterfs-server a dependency for the *-plugin RPM to make it even easier.
