SSH getting file not found errors.

[Gordon Heydon]

I am getting the following errors.

failed: [x.x.x.x] (item={u'regexp': u'^PasswordAuthentication', u'line': u'PasswordAuthentication no'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "cmd": "sshd -T -f /tmp/tmpbALBAx", "item": {"line": "PasswordAuthentication no", "regexp": "^PasswordAuthentication"}, "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2} failed: [x.x.x.x] (item={u'regexp': u'^PasswordAuthentication', u'line': u'PasswordAuthentication no'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "cmd": "sshd -T -f /tmp/tmpAGtMcq", "item": {"line": "PasswordAuthentication no", "regexp": "^PasswordAuthentication"}, "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2} failed: [x.x.x.x] (item={u'regexp': u'^PermitRootLogin', u'line': u'PermitRootLogin no'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "cmd": "sshd -T -f /tmp/tmp4W8JFX", "item": {"line": "PermitRootLogin no", "regexp": "^PermitRootLogin"}, "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2} failed: [x.x.x.x] (item={u'regexp': u'^PermitRootLogin', u'line': u'PermitRootLogin no'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "cmd": "sshd -T -f /tmp/tmpNO0KfI", "item": {"line": "PermitRootLogin no", "regexp": "^PermitRootLogin"}, "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2}

I am not sure why this is happening. Any ideas?

I have done a little more investigation, but this is not happening always, other issues such as

ok: [x.x.x.4] => (item={u'regexp': u'^PermitEmptyPasswords', u'line': u'PermitEmptyPasswords no'})
ok: [x.x.x.5] => (item={u'regexp': u'^PermitEmptyPasswords', u'line': u'PermitEmptyPasswords no'})
ok: [x.x.x.4] => (item={u'regexp': u'^ChallengeResponseAuthentication', u'line': u'ChallengeResponseAuthentication no'})
ok: [x.x.x.5] => (item={u'regexp': u'^ChallengeResponseAuthentication', u'line': u'ChallengeResponseAuthentication no'})

I do not see any reason why this would happen, some failing and some not.

I'm seeing this same behavior when I run this role on a raspberry pi (it seems to work fine on an Intel machine, however):
