Hi

We want to modify /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg and we have set following permission:

_setfacl -m u:xxx:rwx /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg_

If we login as xxx we can fine edit /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg but when run from Ansible we get this error:

_failed: [myserver] =\> {“failed”: true, “item”: “”}_  
_msg: Destination /etc/haproxy not writable_

myserver is defined with ansible\_ssh\_user=xxx

We don’t get this error if we also execute this:

_setfacl -m u:ami:rwx /etc/haproxy_
