Hello,

i have ansible 2.4.2.0 and i am running into BUG 16616 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16616 .
As i am not very familar with git i got the following qurstions and hope that anyone can help me.

  1. The BUG is marked for Version 2.2. Do i have to open the same BUG for 2.4 ?
  2. As far as i see someone did something, but the BUG is still marked as OPEN.
  3. Is it solved and do i have to download the new version of the module ?

Thanks
Frank

Not really a bug, just a feature no one has found a good way to implement yet.

Hello,

bad news…
Is there any known “workarround” how to automaticly deploy the ssh-key of the ansible host to targets
as the module can not read and use the inventory-var?

Thanks
Frank

You could use SSH agent forwarding.
