Doing su -c 'ssh {{ ssh_peer }}'

[Axel Rau]

Hi all,

This stopped working after some upgrade of ansible:

- - -
- name: Test new ssh connection
command: "su {{ sk_user }} -c 'ssh {{ ssh_peer }} date‘“
- - -

It just hungs in the shell.

How can this be done in 2.13.1?

Any help appreciated,
Axel

If I install sudo, this seems to work:

- - -

shell: sudo -u {{ sk_user }} ssh {{ ssh_peer }} date

- - -

Ansible can do the privilege escalation to an arbitrary user as well:

  command: ssh {{ ssh_peer }} date

  become_user: "{{ sympa_unix_user }}"
  vars:
    ansible_ssh_pipelining: true
