Hi,  
I have just pulled the latest commits from the devel branch (commit:  
2267503). Everythings work ok except for the synchronize module that now  
asks a password.

Basically it uses the local user and not `ansible_ssh_user`. Is there a  
way to restore the previous behavior?

Thanks.

Sorry for the noise but… Does anybody has an idea? Or should I use the  
developer mailing list?

Thank you

There's a few open bugs for synchronize, but your exact situation has not yet been reported. Please file a bug and I will try to work on the synchronize tickets in batch this week.
