That documentation is pretty clear (albeit its target audience is people already intermediate with SSH); you should try rereading it :( Unknown host rejection is basically a binary choice, thus the True/False option in Fabric. Setting it to True like you did was the correct action to take. However, it sounds like there is a bug, because it definitely shouldn't prompt for a password when you have reject_unknown_hosts set to True -- it should abort instead. I just looked into it and confirmed: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/671 I'll probably have this fixed in a few minutes and it'll be out in the next round of bugfix releases.
