Thanks to Brian for the reply, it begs a couple more questions, but first 
let me state my 'new understandings'  based on some sleuthing I did through 
our testenv logs and ansible core modules code while trying to figure this 
out. It looks to me like when you first use ansible a .ansible dir is setup 
in the topmost level dir (~) and within is a tmp directory. I'm surmising 
that ansible writes the modules it needs to that tmp dir, executes the 
modules according to the playbook on the ansible host, then deletes them on 
it's way out the door when the play is finished. Is this correct? It also 
appears from our logs that any scripts (modules) that are executed during 
the play (ex: copy.py) are prepended with ansible- (as in ansible-copy.py) 
hence the target 'knows' its ansible doing whatever it's doing. If this is 
so, then Brian I have to ask because this makes my life so much easier (and 
I know that is what you live for ;-)), does the selinux-python binding 
setup an 'ansible user', or give anything with ansible root privileges or 
somesuch, is that how the selinux context works?

Thanks for all the help, looking forward to your response.

regards, Richard
