Subject: Re: [Fab-user] Loading system known_hosts file

Thanks for the reply Jeff.  Running a debug on the sshd server-side was very 
helpful.

I can see that when I connect with the ssh client from my shell, the client 
requests a connection method of 'none' and then 'hostbased'.     Fabric (or 
Paramiko) seems to request publickey right off the bat.

Is there any way I can specify hostbased as the preferred connection method?  
Is it possible to set Paramiko settings in my fabfile?

Hi Jason,

Fabric should be doing this correctly, and if you check your debug
output, you'll notice that it appears to be using the right key:

> DEBUG:ssh.transport:Trying key 2d84d6f8af827bd2008aa7e8009fb3765 from
> /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
>
> DEBUG:ssh.transport:userauth is OK
>
> INFO:ssh.transport:Authentication (publickey) failed.

What this means is the server rejected that key for some reason.
There's no way to tell without enabling debug output on the server
sshd, restarting it, trying again & then checking the server's sshd or
auth logs.

Have you tried using this key with regular 'ssh' before? E.g.:

    ssh -t -i /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key myhost uname -s

Which is roughly equivalent to what Fabric is doing here.

Good luck,
Jeff
