setup module is failing

[Altif]

Hello,

I've ansible control node(CentOS 7) which is used to scp build image to target server(FreeBSD 11.04). It was just working fine last week. However, today I'd tried to run playbook, it got failed with below error message.

ansible-playbook -i zsdev-hosts Scp_build.yml --extra-vars build_version=<file-to-be-scp>

fatal: [zsdev-nrt-smca2]: FAILED! => {

    "ansible_facts": {},

            "module_stdout": "sudo: (null): option \"passprompt_override\" does not take a value\r\r\nsudo: error initializing audit plugin sudoers_audit\r\r\n",

            "rc": 1

        }

    },

    "msg": "The following modules failed to execute: setup\n"

}

Scp_build.yml playbook

      shell:

I'd tried to search, couldn't find anything, can someone please help me on this, any inputs are appreciated.

Is the version of Python at FreeBSD supported?
https://endoflife.date/python

Try

ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/local/bin/python3.6

[Mohammad Altif]

Thank you Vladimir for responding.

Yes, both Python2.7 and Python 3.7 are supported by FreeBSD. I tried with ansible_python_interpreter = '/usr/local/bin/python3' and encountered the same error.

Strange,

especially if it was working b4. what has changed ?

Are u able to run sudo without issues on the remote host ?

Also check your sudoers file with visudo -c (on the remote node)

[Matt Martz]

This may be of interest to you:  https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/show_bug.cgi?id=993

There was a bug in sudo 1.9.8 that has since been fixed.

very interesting, indeed Matt.

just checked and freebsd 11.4 ships with sudo 1.9.8 which is subject to the bug, this can be checked with sudo -p ' ' true

@Mohammad, I suggest you patch your sudo package to 1.9.8.p1; that will probably solve your issue.

In FreeBSD, Python 2.7 is not supported anymore but might work. I
tested old 10.3 and it is working with 2.7. The controller is CentOS
8, Ansible 2.9 and Python 3.6

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.4.2105

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.9.23
...
location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 3.6.8 (default, Mar 19
2021, 05:13:41) [GCC 8.4.1 20200928 (Red Hat 8.4.1-1)]

$ ansible host1 -m setup | grep ansible_python_version
"ansible_python_version": "2.7.13"

From your data it's not possible to say what is the problem. To move
forward, minimize your setup and locate the problem. See
Troubleshooting Guide
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/network_debug_troubleshooting.html

1) Are yo able connect to the remote host? $ ssh admin@host
2) Are you able to ping it? $ ansible host -u admin -m ping
3) Are you able to run setup? $ ansible host -u admin -m setup
4) Try with Python >= 3.6

Thanks again Vladimir. I'd tried following troubleshooting guide, here is the results:

Ansible Control Node

==================
1) Are you able to connect to the remote host? $ ssh admin@host -- remote host is accessible with ssh
2) Are you able to ping it? $ ansible host -u admin -m ping -- No, "getting he following modules failed to execute: setup\n" error
3) Are you able to run the setup? $ ansible host -u admin -m setup -- No, getting "he following modules failed to execute: setup\n" error
4) Try with Python >= 3.6 -- tried with /usr/local/bin/python3(3.7.10) as well

$ ansible --version

ansible 2.9.21
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/home/maltif/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 2.7.5 (default, Jun 20 2019, 20:27:34) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)]

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

Kind Regards,

Thank you so much Vladimir, Matt and Stefi... as Matt pointed that there is bug in sudo-1.9.8. Once upgrading to  sudo-1.9.8p1, issue got resolved.

Thanks again for helping me out, truly appeciated :)

Stay safe and healthy!

[Altif]

I'm sharing the steps which I'd followed to troubleshoot and resolved the issue:

sudo -p '' true

if not output, all good 

else below output

sudo: (null): option "passprompt_override" does not take a value

sudo: error initializing audit plugin sudoers_audit

#check sudoer file parsing

visudo -c

#check sudo version

sudo -V

#backup existing sudoers file

cp /usr/local/etc/sudoers /sc/build/

#download sudo package:

cd /sc/build/ && fetch https://www.sudo.ws/dist/sudo-1.9.8p1.tar.gz

tar -xvf sudo-1.9.8p1.tar.gz &&  cd sudo-1.9.8p1

./configure --build=amd64-unknown-freebsd24

make

make install

cp sudoers /etc/sudoers && cp sudoers /usr/local/etc/sudoers

Hope, it'd help someone.
