error message

[Daley Okuwa]

hello when i  try to  run this command 

ansible all -i hosts -s --sudo  -m ping 

I get this error message 

192.168.85.129 | UNREACHABLE! => {

    "changed": false,

    "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,password).\r\n",

    "unreachable": true

Please tell me what i am doing wrong

Normally i can ssh into this hosts 192.168.85.129

from the control server

Are you using keys or password?
If you are using password you are missing -k/--ask-pass option.

ansible_ssh_pass, ssh key without password, ssh key with password and
ssh-agent.
What you can use depends on you requirement since some of them has
security implication.
