Hello,
I am testing a dead simple playbook intended to verify that privilege
escalation works. The code is at https://github.com/cscal/testplay
The error that Ansible gives me is:
FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error, could not touch target: [Errno
13] Permission denied: b'/root/test'", "path": "/root/test"}
As the ansible user on the control node I can SSH to
[email protected], and run sudo commands successfully
(including touching the test file in /root). Ansible tasks that don't need
privilege escalation execute successfully.
This executes successfully:
ansible all -m ping -u ansible --become --become-user ansible
The commands I've tried to run the playbook are every permutation of:
ansible-playbook -vvv site.yml --become --become-user=ansible -k
with and without -k, with and without "become" and "become_user".
The debug output shows that it is connecting over SSH to the expected
"ansible" user.
At a loss, I tried editing /etc/ansible/ansible.conf like so:
sudo_user = ansible
become_user=ansible
But this did not help.
I do not have any custom host variables or anything of that nature.
This is baffling to me. Any ideas to resolve this?
