Recovering GlusterFS password

recover or reset gluster password

Well, drinking too much is bad, you shouldn’t. I recently had a gfs installation which  i have changed the default password, password which i happenned to have forgotten.

Since there was no forgot password option, i decided to look around if  there was anybody who ever bumped into this, couldn’t seem to find anything [ph33r my leet googling skills :p].

Anyways, after searching and searching i realized i would be better off following the code. I had no clue where they had it, but thankfully, i was able to boot the gluster machine into single user mode [ am not going into the boring details http://www.google.mu/search?hl=en&q=boot+linux+grub+into+single+usermode&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= ]

once inside, type this:

cat /GLUSTER/webagent.auth

ofcourse you can use vi or nano or whatever text editors they have there, the password is stored in clear text.

I guess this should save someone some times, since i lost like 15 minutes looking through the codes  through which way was it doing authentication since it kept referencing functions from this or that file. I had to go through /var/www/html/modules/login/index.php, /var/www/html/classes/user-authentication.class.php,  /var/www/html/modules/setting/change-password.php to finally get a clue to where it was storing the password.

Hope it helps.

nano configs

Like most of you who don’t like to get into those religious wars about editors of emac vs vi, we tend to prefer to use nano, simple, and light!

The side of peace :).

Screenshot

But after using nano sometimes, you soon begin to miss those features which you used to have in other editors, e.g syntax highlighting or tabspace etc.

No need to worry lil hippie, nano has these abilities 🙂 you don’t need to envy those unsexy editors out there anymore.

Here’s my default nano configuration which you might want to use.

~/.nanorc

set tabsize 4
set autoindent
set nowrap
include “/usr/local/share/nano/c.nanorc”
include “/usr/local/share/nano/perl.nanorc”
include “/usr/local/share/nano/sh.nanorc”
include “/usr/local/share/nano/html.nanorc”
include “/usr/local/share/nano/php.nanorc”
include “/usr/local/share/nano/php2.nanorc”

Since am on FreeBSD the synthax highlighting files are located in /usr/local/share/nano, if you are on linux, you might wanna look in /usr/share/nano/

You  can find more syntax highlighting config files here

This is just a simple configuration which will set your tabspace to 4, allow auto indentation, no line wrapping and some syntax highlight 😀 the only things that a use will ever need out of an editor.

Please don’t rant that nano can’t do magical stuffs :p it is an editor and nothing more [unlike some other things which claims to be editors :p].
