It's a rewrite of the file. I'm the only author of the code (i.e.
neither Intel nor UNH contributed to the Fabric code) so I left only
us there. I'm not sure this is the right way to do this, but it made
sense to me. I have no problem with leaving all parties in.

 #. **SSH Connection**
 
-   DTS uses Python pexpect for SSH connections between DTS environment and the other hosts.
-   The pexpect implementation is a wrapper around the ssh command in the DTS environment.
-   This means it'll use the SSH agent providing the ssh command and its keys.
+   DTS uses the Fabric Python library for SSH connections between DTS environment
+   and the other hosts.
+   The authentication method used is pubkey authentication.
+   Fabric tries to use a passed key/certificate,
+   then any key it can with through an SSH agent,
+   then any "id_rsa", "id_dsa" or "id_ecdsa" key discoverable in ``~/.ssh/``
+   (with any matching OpenSSH-style certificates).
+   DTS doesn't pass any keys, so Fabric tries to use the other two methods.
