hi,

i'm sorry if this was already covered but why does ansible's ping module 
giving me an ssh error? 

i installed ansible version 2.9.17 on a centos vm. that vm can ping & ssh 
to my test destination router from the command line. for some reason 
"ansible lab -m ping" gives me an ssh error. my /etc/ansible/hosts file 
looks ok (i just started with ansible this monday). what am i missing?

[xyz@centos inventory]$ ansible lab -m ping
