[Labs-l] password auth

[Petr Bena]

if it's LDAP why any command accessing the gluster on bots-1 freeze? I lost
last terminal after executing "df" and any attempt to ssh there freeze on
reading the authorized_keys file, which is on storage, that doesn't work...
If there was password auth I could ssh there and fix that. Now I can only
wait... and pray
