+Before we get started, it's important to understand how Ansible communicates with remote
 machines over SSH. 
 
 By default, Ansible 1.3 and later will try to use native 
-OpenSSH for remote communication  when possible.  This enables both ControlPersist (a performance feature), Kerberos, and options in ~/.ssh/config such as Jump Host setup.  When using Enterprise Linux 6 operating systems as the control machine (Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives such as CentOS), however, the version of OpenSSH may be too old to support ControlPersist.

However, when using Enterprise Linux 6 operating systems as the control machine (Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives such as CentOS), the version of OpenSSH may be too old to support ControlPersist. On these operating systems, Ansible will fallback into using a high-quality Python implementation of
 OpenSSH called 'paramiko'.  If you wish to use features like Kerberized SSH and more, consider using Fedora, OS X, or Ubuntu as your control machine until a newer version of OpenSSH is available for your platform -- or engage 'accelerated mode' in Ansible.  See :doc:`playbooks_acceleration`.
 
-In Ansible 1.2 and before, the default was strictly paramiko and native SSH had to be explicitly selected with -c ssh or set in the configuration file.
+In releases up to and including Ansible 1.2, the default was strictly paramiko.  Native SSH had to be explicitly selected with the -c ssh option or set in the configuration file.

-When speaking with remote machines, Ansible will by default assume you are using SSH keys -- which we encourage -- but passwords are fine too.  To enable password auth, supply the option ``--ask-pass`` where needed.  If using sudo features and when sudo requires a password, also supply ``--ask-sudo-pass`` as appropriate.

 As an advanced topic, Ansible doesn't just have to connect remotely over SSH.  The transports are pluggable, and there are options for managing things locally, as well as managing chroot, lxc, and jail containers.  A mode called 'ansible-pull' can also invert the system and have systems 'phone home' via scheduled git checkouts to pull configuration directives from a central repository.

 To enable basic logging on the control machine see :doc:`intro_configuration` document and set the 'log_path' configuration file setting.  Enterprise users may also be interested in :doc:`tower`.  Tower provides a very robust database logging feature where it is possible to drill down and see history based on hosts, projects, and particular inventories over time -- explorable both graphically and through a REST API.
