Hi all,
A much-requested feature is now enabled in the 'master' branch of
Fabric and 'ssh': SSH agent forwarding.
I'm not releasing it immediately because A) I want 1+ more feature in
1.4 and B) I'd like help testing it out, if briefly. Please help test
it!
You'll need the dev versions of Fabric and SSH, e.g.:
pip install ssh==dev
pip install fabric==dev
After that, "fab -V" should say you're using Fabric 1.4a and 'ssh' 1.8.0a0.
I've been doing a very simple test of SSHing to one system and using
Fabric's arbitrary-command feature to 'ssh' to another box, like so:
fab -H machine1 -- ssh machine2 uptime
This should execute "uptime" on machine2, by way of machine1. Other
scenarios should work too, though -- the stranger the better.
Please ping back via the list (or directly to [email protected] if
you want to avoid spamming folks) with success stories, and report any
problems on the 'ssh' ticket:
https://github.com/bitprophet/ssh/pull/1
Thanks,
Jeff
