Copying files with a mode 400 seems to set to 620 instead

[gary.r...@isobar.com]

Hey,

This is potentially something that is frowned upon, but I'm trying to add SSH keys to a server via Ansible so that the destination server can use these keys later for other operations.

So I am trying to do the following:

 - name: add default ssh keys
   become: true
     copy:
       src: ./.ssh/
       dest: ~/.ssh
       mode: 400
       force: true

I would expect to see the keys added and set to read only:

 -r--------

However, when looking at the keys on the destination server I'm seeing this:

 -rw--w----

Is there any particular reason why they do not have the permissions I'm asking?

Or is there a way I can upload them and then update all keys in that folder to be read only?

Thanks,

Gary

Short answer is that you need to use 0400 instead of 400 so that Ansible knows you are supplying an octal mode as opposed to decimal.
