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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
