I’ve recently started running into a problem that I didn’t have before I upgraded from ansible 2.0.1.0 to 2.0.2.0. I don’t conclusively know whether the upgrade itself is responsible for the new behavior I’m seeing. When executing a playbook against a vanilla Centos 7 installation, execution of the playbook terminates shortly after the first time I use ansible to enable the firewalld service. A few seconds after firewalld is enabled, whatever playbook step that happens to be running fails with “Failed to transfer file”… “connection closed by remote host”. Re-executing the playbook again works fine. Setting retry on the playbook will likely fix my problem, although I’d like to understand why this is now necessary, whereas before it wasn’t. ---

UPDATE: This problem only seems to occur when I’m using an SSH proxy to connect to the target. Introducing a 5 second pause after enabling firewalld seems to prevent the connection from failing, but who knows why I need to do that. ---

UPDATE: Here’s what appears in my logs when ansible causes my connection to be terminated: May 13 16:03:51 localhost systemd: Started Session 16 of user root.

UPDATE: Ignore the system logs I reported above. That same output happens even if I execute “systemctl start firewalld” through means other than ansible.
