| In our environment, we cannot log directly in to servers as root. We have an 'admin' server that we log in as our userid, then have to sudo to root. Root can ssh without password from this server to all other servers to run admin scripts. When trying to run bolt after doing 'sudo su - ", it tries to run as the underlying (login) userid, and therefore fails. Since most of our admins probably don't have ssh keys from this server, it wouldn't work to use --run-as root. See my test: [userA@serverA ~]$ whoami userA [userA@serverA ~]$ sudo su - [root@serverA ~]# whoami root [root@serverA ~]# who am i userA pts/30 2019-05-09 10:12 (192.10.67.89) [root@serverA ~]# bolt command run "uname" --nodes serverB Started on serverB... all authorization methods failed (tried none, publickey, password) Failed on serverB: Authentication failed for user userA@serverB Failed on 1 node: serverB Ran on 1 node in 0.50 seconds |
