Re: [Fab-user] Trouble authenticating with ssh key

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi all,

Just spent some time poking around and figured this out; just pushed a
fix. You'll now see a prompt asking for your SSH key passphrase
instead of seeing the "regular" password prompt.

Long story short, this was due to oddball behavior on Paramiko's end,
end result being that we don't have to change our actual auth logic
any, but are able to figure out when Paramiko is complaining about not
being able to unlock your private key, vs when it wants a normal
system password -- and prompt you accordingly.

Best,
Jeff
