ansible all -m ping  
SSH password:  
192.168.99.115 | FAILED! =\> {  
“msg”: “to use the ‘ssh’ connection type with passwords, you must install the sshpass program”

}

This is the error msg I’m getting while connecting to the rhel v6.10 managed node. Even there all the openssh packages are installed.

I tried to install sshpass but there is no package available.

Any Help…!!

Hi Komalsuth,

you need to install sshpass localy on your ansible “master” node - not on the target node.

Hope it helps.
