Correct, but that only works locally right now: no SSH agent forwarding in Paramiko means we can't forward an unlocked key/passphrase to the remote system; and no interactivity remotely means no passphrase entry on the remote end. As mentioned I can attempt to address the latter problem in Fabric, and eventually I hope to submit a patch to Paramiko (or, less desirable, monkeypatch it in Fabric) to fix the former, since agent forwarding is quite useful overall. -Jeff -- Jeff Forcier Unix sysadmin; Python/Ruby developer http://bitprophet.org _______________________________________________ Fab-user mailing list Fab-user@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fab-user
