Better SSH authentication management

[rsaikali]

To avoid storing passwords in database, SSH authentication should be managed differently.

Use of SSH keyfiles should be studied.

v0.0.5 enhancement : use fabric local() command if server ip is detected as 127.0.0.1

Not a big deal, but better than nothing : faster execution (no SSH) no need for username/password.

It seems to me this is could simply be covered by documentation, i.e.

• leave the password field empty
• if needed, create a ssh key (ssh-keygen)
• copy the key to every server being monitored (ssh-copy-id)

This already works flawlessly.

That's what I wanted to try (need time !!)
I knew this was the default Fabric behaviour, but I wondered if it worked in a Django environment (don't know why it shouldn't).

Thanks for testing that...

"This already works flawlessly."
So I close this ticket...

Correct ! Need to review the docs...
