I can indeed SSH straight in (using 'root' with password.) 

I made sure "PermitRootLogin" was explicitly set to 'yes' in sshd_config, 
restarted sshd, and tried again. The Ansible command still hangs, and no 
messages in /var/log/secure, other than when I kill the Ansible process, it 
reports "Connection closed":

Sep  4 14:06:34 problem-svr sshd[1457]: Received signal 15; terminating.
Sep  4 14:06:34 problem-svr sshd[17358]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 
22.
Sep  4 14:06:34 problem-svr sshd[17358]: Server listening on :: port 22.
Sep  4 14:07:16 problem-svr sshd[17360]: Connection closed by 
192.168.180.53 [preauth]

Very strange & frustrating...
