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.
