That didn't make a difference. I know that ansible is using that ansible.cfg file because I can put a "remote_user = xxx" line at the end of it and ansible uses that.
It would be helpful if someone could simply add "ssh_args= -F sshconfig" to an ansible.cfg file and show some output that proves that Ansible is using it.
