Hi All, I have a situation where, we need to disable the "root" user. and need to make configuration changes to linux servers using a regular(cafe3) user *which has sudo privileges.* To achieve that, I am ssh in to server using "cafe3" using ansible, and mentioning the --sudo flag while executing it.
*Ansible-Attempt-1:* ~>ansible all --inventory-file=inv_my.yaml -m setup -u root --ask-pass *--sudo-user=root* --ask-sudo-pass --sudo SSH password: sudo password [defaults to SSH password]: vcac148-085-217.eng.vmware.com | FAILED => Authentication failure. *Ansible-Attempt-2:* ~>ansible all --inventory-file=inv_my.yaml -m setup -u root --ask-pass *--sudo-user=cafe3* --ask-sudo-pass --sudo SSH password: sudo password [defaults to SSH password]: vcac148-085-217.eng.vmware.com | FAILED => Authentication failure. *Manual attempt-3:* If I ssh in to server using user as cafe3, and try to run command like "sudo ls". It works fine. It does ask me for sudo password and I provided the same password as I did in attempt-1 and attempt-2 above. Please help. Thanks in advance. - Dhruvin Shah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
