Hi all,

I use SSHClient to execute a command on a SAN switch : 


client = SSHClient()
client.load_system_host_keys()
client.connect(hostname,username=username,password=password)
stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command(cmd)

The switch doesn't accept an authentication by key so it closes the
connection directly in case of a try with authentication by key. I have
to use directly an authentication by password. In the Linux ssh command,
the option -o PrefferedAuthentications=password let you change the
default option for authentications and force the first try to password.

How can I do the same with SSHClient. In the doc, I see for SSHClient : 

	Authentication is attempted in the following order of priority: 

	The pkey or key_filename passed in (if any) 
	Any key we can find through an SSH agent 
	Any "id_rsa" or "id_dsa" key discoverable in ~/.ssh/ 
	Plain username/password auth, if a password was given 


How can I put "Plain username/password auth, if a password was given" to
the first try ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards.
Pierre.
