It is true default glusterfs installation is too open. A simple
solution would be to introduce an access control, either by 
IP whitelist, or better by shared secret.

The obvious problem is that it breaks updates. At least peer
know each others and could agree on automatically creating
a shared secret if it is missing, but we need to break clients.
The annoyance can be mitigated with an helpful message on mount 
failure, in the log and on stdout such as "please copy 
/etc/glusterd/secret from a server"
