Not on the remote node, but you need sshpass on your Ansible control
machine.
I have installed openssh-server and openssh-clients on the control
machine
and the error still persists.
Any other way forward??
Did you install the package "sshpass" on the control machine?
(Non-interactive ssh password authentication).
Ansible doesn't require openssh-server on the control machine, but when
you are using ssh with password the program "sshpass" is needed on the
control machine since ssh doesn’t provide this functionality itself.
