playbook via jumphost

I’m using the latest Ansible and python 2.7.2. I’ve got my jump host all set via ~/.ssh/config. Ssh connections to my target host work fine. I’ve got an ansible_hosts line for my target’s hostname, and it matches the hostname in the ssh config file. I’m running the playbook with -c ssh too. For some reason it does not seem to use ssh at all. It does not seem to see the .ssh/config at all, and tries to go directly to the target host - wrong user, no proxy command, no jumphost. What am I missing? I’m running the playbook like this:

ansible-playbook -vvvv -c ssh dev.yml

I have it working now. It seems that I need to specify the user. The user specified in the .ssh/config is not used.

I don’t see any of the verbose debugging lines that show any usage of the jump host. I am sure its being used, but it seems that jumphost data should be included in the verbose output. So I can tell at a glance that its using my ssh/config and its proxying.

you would need very verbose output from ssh, which gets too verbose to be usable

but you should be able to add -vvv to ssh options
