Hi Team,

we need to sudo to solaris box using ansible.  
Below steps are done manually to login as sudo via putty  
SSH into solaris box by entering username and password  
sudo to server by entering username and password as it prompt for password.

Using ansible am able to ssh to the server but second step am unable to achieve via ansible  
i studied become module and implemeted getting time out exception as my sudo is implemeted in interactive manner.can any one guide me on this as am struck on this from many months.

Regards  
B Surya
