Hi Bryan, Following https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/2710 and https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/5403, I would like to clarify a bit.
The reported problem (Why '--user' argument is ignored?) affects your general usage of `ansible-playbook`. You showed that it is not a specific problem with Vagrant Ansible provisioner, so it makes sense to keep the discussion here. That said, I would like to help you to find out the origin of this problem... But I can't reproduce and have difficulties to figure out where could this "User=root" come from... Could you please detail your Ansible installation (from source or from package? do you use a custom ansible.cfg file?) Cheers, Gilles @James: exporting ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER and ANSIBLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE as you mentioned is an easy trick to be able to run `ansible-playbook` from the command line (withou --private-key and --user), but you shouldn't need it to run commands like `vagrant provision`. Don't you, right? Focusing on the current problem, passing a `--user` argument actually overrides this $ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER variable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
