Note: This assumes you client/target is not configured with an unprivileged user and does not use SSH keys. If this does not apply to you, modify secureSetup.yml appropriately.

   a. mkpasswd -m sha-512

   b. save this hash, it will be used in secureSetup.yml

   a. sudo vi /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

   b. uncomment host_key_checking = False
