Hello,

i found a regression (maybe it’s a normal change of API) on the synchronized module on the 2.0.1. I try on 1.9.5 and it’ work.

My use case is :

- i have a bastion to access to all host and my ssh config use the proxycommand to do it.

- i use my personnal account to access to host and then do a sudo to deploy with the applicative account

- and i want to synchronized tow nodes

My problem is in 1.9.5, ansible do the following process :

- ssh connect with my account

- sudo and provide my password

- do the rsync with the deploy account to the other host with the same account

In 2.0.1, ansible do:

- ssh connect
- rsync (with my account) with rsync with sudo (when become is activate) but don’t use the become user and don’t provide my sudo passord.

So rsync return, sudo ask a password but there no tty… normal ;o(

So i propose 3 solutions :

- keep the become on the delegate\_to side as before
- add specific args to module to move become on delegate side
- provide password with an echo ‘password’ | sudo -s -u become\_user rsync on rsync path

For this last one, i try it , but not work due to a exclamation point in my password so i think i have a problem with single quote…

what i can do ? what do you prefere ?
