Hi all,

is it possible to set ansible_sudo_pass in /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg to avoid having to enter the sudo pass in a group of local clients?

Thanks in advance, Simon.

For a bit more security, you might try something I outlined here:

It uses the python-keyring module to ask your local password safe.
