I corrected a few copy and paste errors below that may have been confusing...

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?

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.
