I am new to fabric/python and I wantaed to create a script that will add users on multiple machines. Depending on the type of machine the useradd cmd line changes b/c of different groups. When I run the script it will add the user on the first host specified then error out. I saw from other answers that something is set to none but I'm not sure what is set to none. This is the running output and error.
~/scripts #fab -H ns1,ons2 go
Enter Username [test]:

I'm sure the code is ugly, just something I've pieced together to learn python.
