Hi all! I have a question regarding the connection method and LYX/Turney servers. When using paramiko as the engine for ssh connection, the process hang indefinitely I am using the latest version of ansible. The connection works fine with the default ssh connection method. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? **_Steps to Reproduce_** ansible\_host file turnkey ansible\_host=192.168.0.37 ansible\_ssh\_user=XXXX ansible\_ssh\_pass=XXXXX ansible\_ssh\_extra\_args=‘-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no’ ansible\_connection=‘paramiko’ CLI: ansible all -m ping -i ansible\_host -vvvvv Logs: ansible [core 2.17.3] config file = /Users/manu/prometheus/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [‘/Users/manu/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’] ansible python module location = /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ansible/10.3.0/libexec/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ansible ansible collection location = /Users/manu/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections executable location = /opt/homebrew/bin/ansible python version = 3.12.5 (main, Aug 6 2024, 19:08:49) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)] (/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ansible/10.3.0/libexec/bin/python) jinja version = 3.1.4 libyaml = True Using /Users/manu/prometheus/ansible.cfg as config file setting up inventory plugins Loading collection ansible.builtin from host\_list declined parsing /Users/manu/prometheus/ansible\_host as it did not pass its verify\_file() method script declined parsing /Users/manu/prometheus/ansible\_host as it did not pass its verify\_file() method auto declined parsing /Users/manu/prometheus/ansible\_host as it did not pass its verify\_file() method Parsed /Users/manu/prometheus/ansible\_host inventory source with ini plugin Loading callback plugin minimal of type stdout, v2.0 from /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ansible/10.3.0/libexec/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ansible/plugins/callback/minimal.py Attempting to use ‘default’ callback.
