I am fairly new working with ansible and am operating some playbooks that 
were built by someone else who is gone. The current playbooks will set up a 
new server and work fine. It installs several standard packages and will 
change to all SSH logins , no root login. The first time I will put the 
  ansible_ssh_user=root ansible_ssh_pass= xxxxx   on the inventory line. 
After that root access no longer works. 

the problem is when I need to run a playbook to update the server. I get a 
failure that looks like this : 


*ipaddress*> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: *myusername*
<*ipaddress*> REMOTE_MODULE setup
<*ipaddress*> EXEC sshpass -d7 ssh -C -tt -v -o ControlMaster=auto -o 
ControlPersist=60s -o 
ControlPath="/home/nnnn/.ansible/cp/ansible-ssh-%h-%p-%r" -o 
StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no -o 
PubkeyAuthentication=no -o ConnectTimeout=10 *ipaddress* /bin/sh -c 'mkdir 
-p $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1464038963.41-214242419831580 && chmod 
a+rx $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1464038963.41-214242419831580 && echo 
$HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1464038963.41-214242419831580'
fatal: [server] => SSH Error: Permission denied (publickey).
    while connecting to *ipaddress*:22

I then discovered a small group of servers that use a VPN and back end IP , 
and the same script ran OK - 


<*ipaddress*> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: *myusername*
<*ipaddress*> REMOTE_MODULE setup
<*ipaddress*> EXEC ssh -C -tt -v -o ControlMaster=auto -o

ok: [*servername*]


I am hoping there is a simple setting or other change that will allow these 
playbooks to run, thanks for the help. I put asterisks around some things 
for privacy / security *myusername* , etc.
