Re: [Fab-user] Trouble running ad-hoc commands w/o having to re-enter password for each host.

[Jeff Forcier]

This sounds like the same issue as
https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/1130 and I'll add a link to
your mail there once it's in the archives. Thanks! Will be digging
into things for a bugfix release later this week so this regression
should be fixed then.

Best,
Jeff
