I have installed the latest version of ansible by cloning the source:
sandman(maf):~:667:$ ansible --version
ansible 2.0.0 (devel 05f6e76407) last updated 2015/09/19 12:16:52 (GMT -400)
lib/ansible/modules/core: (detached HEAD 59afecace4) last updated 2015/09/19 12:16:58 (GMT -400)
lib/ansible/modules/extras: (detached HEAD dee690d7f4) last updated 2015/09/19 12:17:02 (GMT -400)
config file =
configured module search path = None
I am running Python 2.6.6 with Debian squeeze.
Running ansible the first time gives me:
sandman(maf):~:661:$ ansible all -m ping
mmm | FAILED! => {
“failed”: true,
“msg”: “ERROR! using -c ssh on certain older ssh versions may not support ControlPersist, set ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS="" (or ssh_args in [ssh_connection] section of the config file) before running again”
}
I update my Inventory file as below:
mmm ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_host=maestro.knocout.com ansible_ssh_port=22 ansible_ssh_user=maf ansible_ssh_args=""
I get the same error message running ansible again:
sandman(maf):~:655:$ ansible all -vvv -m ping

}
The Inventory file is certainly being accessed as it is picking up the host alias and other information but it is not clearing the ansible_ssh_args.
I get the same error when the Inventory file is as below:
mmm ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_host=maestro.knocout.com ansible_ssh_port=22 ansible_ssh_user=maf ansible_ssh_args=“”
When I specify some other value for ansible_ssh_args in the Inventory file, I get the following error:
mmm ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_host=maestro.knocout.com ansible_ssh_port=22 ansible_ssh_user=maf ansible_ssh_args=“ControlPersist=60s”
sandman(maf):~:657:$ ansible all -vvv -m ping

Any suggestions on what I might do to fix the problem?
Thanks
