[Fab-user] Fabric over reverse tunnel

[Rick Morrison]

Hi All,

Relative fabric newbie here. I'm trying to deploy to a machine behind a firewall, and run fab over a reverse SSH tunnel:

   On remote:    ssh -nNR  14000:localhost:22  <source-user>@<source-host>

   On local:       fab -p 14000 deploy_app -H localhost -u <remove-user> -p <remote-pwd>

But fab keeps repeating a prompt for the remote password. I can connect over that same tunnel using ssh with no problems.

..am I missing something?

Thanks,

Rick
