Hi, does that user have NOPASSWD set in /etc/sudoers, or is there any other relevant sudo configuration you’ve setup? This may also be caused by a PAM lookup to a centralized authentication system (ie. LDAP or Active Directory) which is taking a long amount of time to return.
ansible with basically the same command line arguments works here. Perhaps it’s a problem with how sudo is setup on the remote box.
If you add -vvv to your ansible command line it will output some more information about what it’s executing on the remote machine that might help figure out what’s going on.
