hello when i try to run this command
ansible all -i hosts -s --sudo -m ping

I get this error message

192.168.85.129 | UNREACHABLE! => {
“changed”: false,
“msg”: “Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,password).\r\n”,
“unreachable”: true

Please tell me what i am doing wrong
Normally i can ssh into this hosts 192.168.85.129
from the control server

Are you using keys or password?
If you are using password you are missing -k/--ask-pass option.

ansible_ssh_pass, ssh key without password, ssh key with password and ssh-agent.
What you can use depends on you requirement since some of them has security implication.
