[Fab-user] tunneling with fab

[Calvin]

I have two freshly installed nix boxes I want to automate configuration
of.  I start on my box with fabric installed, neither of the freshboxes
have fabric available.

to gain control of the second box i manually ssh to the first then ssh
to the second to drop iptables.

The problem is this operation fails with fabric saying "err: Host key
verification failed."



my fab file has the following
def drop_iptables_on_managed_host(ip='192.16.1.2'):
    print ("droping iptables on host "+ip)
    run(command='ssh '+ip+' service iptables stop')


is there a way to have this autoaccept the key from the first host when
connecting to the second.
