Re: [ansible-project] Re: Permissions issue, cannot become root
I am also facing the same issue. tried several options but no solution. Unable to take privilege of "sudo su -". This is content of my playbook. Commented ones shows that I have tried those options. I have also tried many options with command lines. --- - hosts: all # remote_user: root # become: yes # become_method: sudo # become_exe: "sudo su -" become_user: root tasks: - name: run adhoc command which required root priviledge # command: /usr/bin/cat /root/ab shell: su monitor -l -c "/usr/bin/cat /root/ab" # remote_user: root # become: yes #true # become_method: sudo # become_flags: '-u' # '-s /bin/sh' # become_user: root -Prakash On Monday, July 3, 2017 at 8:14:44 PM UTC-7, Brian Coca wrote: > > you don't even need become_user: root as that is the default. > > -- > Brian Coca > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

[ansible-project] Re: Permissions issue, cannot become root
To install packages you need to be root. So set become_user to root. Now you need to give ansible your sudo password via "-K". You dont need the become_method or become_flags Am Mittwoch, 28.
