Package: ansible
Version: 1.7.2+dfsg-2
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I wanted to get my hands on ansible and started their introduction, put two
test hosts into /etc/ansible/hosts and tested 'ansible all -m ping'... :o)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
aptitude install ansible
vim /etc/ansible/hosts
ansible all -m ping
Afterwards I checked with the current upstream release from github:
git clone ...
git checkout release1.8.4
source hacking/env
ansible all -m ping
# (same issue)
Asked for help in the ansible IRC channel and was redirected to the github
issue tracker.
Opened up an issue with the github tracker, which got rejected/closed with "go
ask your user questions somewhere else".
So, I found another time slot for this issue and tried IPv4 vs. IPv6 by setting
the IP addresses via ansible_ssh_host in the inventory.
Seems like there is an issue with the persistent SSH ControlMaster stuff on
IPv6...
Behaviour is the same for jessies ansible-1.7.2 and upstream ansible-1.8.4.
Maybe this is actually related to the OpenSSH release shipped with jessie?
Unfortunately, I could not find a way to enable debug logging of the SSH client
for ansible SSH connections.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Sometimes all ansible pings passed, sometimes on of the hosts did hang,
sometimes the other one and sometimes even both when SSHing over IPv6. When
manually setting ansible_ssh_host to the IPv4 address of the host, I could ot
reproduce the issue.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
All hosts passing the ansible ping all the time on the current version of the
Internet Protocol. :o)
