Thank you. I greatly appreciate your work on this. I may have time to
offer on a project. Do you need any help on the projects that you maintain ?

Thanks
Pete

Hi Peter,
Fabric (all versions) only uses Paramiko, so if it lacks host-based auth,
then Fabric will as well.
https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/316 - there seems to be a diff
attached which I haven't reviewed yet (hasn't been a high priority as very
few users seem to be requesting it).
Should you have the time to attempt adding it to your local copy of
Paramiko, please comment on the ticket with the results - that would help
move things along a bit.
Best,
Jeff

I am trying to use Fabric instead of Ansible to deploy scripts to a

number

of hosts. I found out that user ssh keys are not copied. Instead host

based

authentication is being used (ie host keys are copied from
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub to remote /etc/ssh/authorized_keys) and
Paramiko is failing with this auth method. Ansible does support this
method though OpenSSH and will fall back to Paramiko if that is not
working.
Is there a way to instantiate a Connection from fabric using another way

?

Thanks in advance
Pete
