simple permissions, can you 'cat '/home/rke/.ssh/id_rsa.pub` ? you probably get same permissions error.
You either need to run ansible-playbook as a user with permissions (rke, root?) or use a task to read the file while using privilege escalation (become): - slurp: path: , '/home/rke/.ssh/id_rsa.pub' become: yes delegate_to: localhost register: rke_pub_key This is the equivalent of you doing `sudo cat /home/rke/.ssh/id_rsa.pub' (lookups always run 'locally and are not affected by become, which only affects the 'remote' side of a task). -- ---------- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
