[Fab-user] Problem w/ some solaris hosts

[keobox]

Hi,
I'm trying to use fabric for administration of a lab w/ Linux and Solaris 
workstations.

I've a strange behavior w/ 2 solaris host, a paramiko.SSHException('Channel 
closed.') is raised.

The behavior is 100% reproducible and is similar to this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/paramiko/+bug/413850

This is the setup where fab is running:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8).
- python 2.6.6
- fabric 1.0
- paramiko 1.7.6
- pycrypto 2.3

- The solaris release where fabric is not working is Solaris 10 10/08 
s10s_u6wos_07b SPARC.

- The openssh release where fabric is not working is OpenSSH_5.0p1-hpn13v1.

Linux hosts work fine, solaris hosts w/ openssh version different from the 
above version work fine.

Any suggestion?

Regards,
Cesare
