Hi Team,

Am new to ansible. when am pinging to node machine it shows error like this.
META: ran handlers
Using module file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/modules/system/ping.py

The problem is, that Ansible could not connect to the remote host:
Permission denied (publickey,password).
You must add your public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the corresponding user(ansible user) on the remote host where you want to do the ping.

Hi, I generated ssh key I copied ssh key of mine and my friends system in authorized_keys

Now in
etc/ansible/hosts file I mentioned server and gave host of my friend.

like this

[prasad]
192.168.1.12

This is the default ansible ‘hosts’ file.
