Hi

The playbook is failing with this error;

FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “invocation”: {“module\_name”: “command”}, “module\_stderr”: “OpenSSH\_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013\r\ndebug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh\_config\r\ndebug1: /etc/ssh/ssh\_config line 56: Applying options for \*\r\ndebug1: auto-mux: Trying existing master\r\ndebug2: fd 3 setting O\_NONBLOCK\r\ndebug2: mux\_client\_hello\_exchange: master version 4\r\ndebug3: mux\_client\_forwards: request forwardings: 0 local, 0 remote\r\ndebug3: mux\_client\_request\_session: entering\r\ndebug3: mux\_client\_request\_alive: entering\r\ndebug3: mux\_client\_request\_alive: done pid = 22731\r\ndebug3: mux\_client\_request\_session: session request sent\r\ndebug1: mux\_client\_request\_session: master session id: 2\r\ndebug3: mux\_client\_read\_packet: read header failed: Broken pipe\r\ndebug2: Control master terminated unexpectedly\r\nShared connection to 169.45.95.59 closed.\r\n”, “module\_stdout”: “”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE”, “parsed”: false}

I see many people raising this issue. Can any one of you let me know what steps I need to take to resolve this issue. This issue is really troubling.

RHEL V7.2 OS, Ansible version: 2.0.1

Many thanks
