Okay apologies. This is the key message here. Failed to create temporary directory.In some cases, you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions on the target directory. Permissions. ---

Sorry, I do not understand that answer. What do you see in the log files on your Debian machine at the time you run the ansible command on your Centos machine? I would expect to find entries in /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/auth.log on the Debian machine when a remote user connects by SSH and runs a command. Antony. ---

So, there are no other members of the group "osgroup". I still fail to understand why the home directory for "temproot" is not owned by temproot. Antony. ---

Okay. 1. Has that made any difference to the output from running your ansible commands? 2. What do the log files such as /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/syslog on the Debian machine you are targetting tell you is happening when you run the commands on the Centos ansible server? Antony. ---

I'm sorry - I am out of my depth here - this is unlike any Debian machine I have ever worked on - so many expected things are missing and so many unexpected things exist. I have no idea how this machine has been set up. I hope someone else may be able to chip in and suggest how to debug this further. Antony. ---
