Hello everyone,
I'm trying to run the following ad hoc ansible command to run the date
command remotely against an IP camera running Linux:
myuser@myhost:$ ansible camera.site.example.org -i /path/to/inventory -u
root -k -m raw -a date
and receiving the following error:
camera.site.example.org | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Invalid/incorrect password: Permission denied, please try
again.",
"unreachable": true
}
Running with -vvv seems to suggest that the -u root option is not being
applied:
myuser@myhost:$ ansible -vvv camera.site.example.org -i /path/to/inventory -u
root -k -m raw -a date
ansible 2.9.3
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [u'/home/myuser/.ansible/plugins/modules',
u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 7 2019, 00:51:29) [GCC 4.8.5
20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)]
Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
SSH password:

If I run the ssh command listed outside of ansible, substituting "root" for
"myuser", things work fine:
myuser@myhost:$ ssh -C -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o
'User="root"' -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o ControlPath=/home/myuser/.ansible/cp/
22d4672695 -tt camera.site.example.org date

myuser@myhost:$
Any idea why the -u option isn't being passed to the underlying ssh command?
