hi,
can you remove me from this group asap.

Hi Sandy

I think it is the ‘my hosts’ line. I would place that between . or remove it. I would also move the vars to a group ver. So something like this.

[my_hosts]
192.168.1.120

[my_hosts:vars]
ansible_connection=local
ansible_sudo_pass=‘xxxxxxx’
ansible_connection=local

sandy@test-VirtualBox:~$ sudo ansible-playbook nfsclient.yml -i myinventory

my hosts

192.168.1.120 ansible_sudo_pass='xxxxxxx'
192.168.1.120 ansible_connection=local

Create file "myinventory". See "How to build your inventor"
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html

For example

cat myinventory

192.168.1.120 ansible_user=sandy ansible_sudo_pass='xxxxxxx'
ansible_connection=local

ansible-inventory -i myinventory --list --vars

{
    "_meta": {
        "hostvars": {
            "192.168.1.120": {
                "ansible_connection": "local",
                "ansible_sudo_pass": "xxxxxxx",
                "ansible_user": "sandy"
            }
        }
    },

hi

it's pretty obvious from the error, with exact file and line number etc:

[WARNING]: * Failed to parse /etc/ansible/hosts with yaml plugin: Syntax Error

while loading YAML. did not find expected <document start> The error appears

to be in '/etc/ansible/hosts': line 48, column 1, but may be elsewhere in the

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/plugins/inventory/yaml.py", line 105, in parse

    raise AnsibleParserError(e)

But there is another problem as well:
