Re: [Fab-user] Multiple usernames and password typos

[Christian Vest Hansen]

It's nice to see you take a stab at this, Jeff. :)

I just briefly glanced over your patch and think there'll be a problem
with the sudo() operation if the different users on the different
hosts uses different passwords - which I think is pretty likely in the
event of different users.

I'll look at it closer when I get home from work.
