I'm running into this problem too. I have the following scenario:
a) I can ssh as my user account but then all commands would need to be
run as sudo
b) I can ssh as another account that has the necessary permissions but
that user has a passphrased private key.
If theres a way to do b) with the current set of options I'd
appreciate it very much if someone could let me know. I tried just
setting :user to the user but I just get prompted for a password that
doesn't do anything when entered:
* executing `deploy'
* executing `deploy:update'
** transaction: start
* executing `deploy:update_code'
* getting (via checkout) revision 1711 to /var/folders/zc/zcuJupL-

compressing /var/folders/zc/zcuJupL-Ewat7ZiCTonV3++++TI/-Tmp-/
