Hi: I am using ansible 1.9.4 on ubuntu trusty 64 linux, but when I run the ansible " sudo ansible -vvv testserver -i hosts -m ping"

to connect to the remote host using ssh key I am getting the following errors

" <192.168.33.10> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: vagrant

while connecting to 192.168.33.10:22
It is sometimes useful to re-run the command using -vvvv, which prints SSH debug output to help diagnose the issue. "

here is content of my hosts file “testserver ansible_ssh_host=192.168.33.10 ansible_ssh_port=22 ansible_ssh_user=vagrant ansible_ssh_private_key_file=./private_key”

I googled for hours but nothing works, can please some one help.

Regards,
RJ.

can you login just using the command?:

ssh -C -tt -vvvv -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o
ControlPath="/home/vagrant/.ansible/cp/ansible-ssh-%h-%p-%r" -o
Port=22 -o IdentityFile="./private_key" -o
KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o
PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey
-o PasswordAuthentication=no -o User=vagrant -o ConnectTimeout=10
192.168.33.10

the issue seems to be authentication related

SSH has those issues sometimes what you want to do is to establish a local connection : 192.168.33.10 ansible_connection=local
