prompt for "SSH pasword"

[norricorp]

Hi,

very new to Ansible, working through books

On my ansible server (a centos 7 machine) I have added root ssh key to my test machine. So I can ssh root@mint-test and that works.

When, as root, I run my playbook, I am prompted "SSH password:". At this point I can enter anything - just enter or the wrong password or even the right password. And then ansible runs the playbook and all works as expected.

In the ansible cfg file, ask_pass is commented out. But even if I set it to False, still get problem.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

John

What command are you using to run ansible?

I have a root ssh key shared out...
ssh client
works without a password, as does
ansible-playbook site.yml -l client

If one works and the other doesn't I would be curious about what your command is...

Hi Adam,

I have realised my dumb mistake. I was blindly following from a book which used the -k option which is --ask-pass and that is exactly what I did. Running it without the -k then no password request. Interesting though that it ignored whatever I typed.

But many thanks for the reply, great to know that people are willing to help on the forum and that it is active.

Regards,

john

No Problem, that was why I asked what command you had been using...  Yes this forum is very active.
