Use synchronize module with user different than ansible_ssh_user

[Jacek Bzdak]

My playbook consists of two steps:

• Setup remote user (one of possibly many), and do stuff that require root
• Login to this user and do rest without privileges
  

It seems that synchronize module doesn't play well with it. It seems that it tries to login to ansible_ssh_user despite the fact that I specified remote_user. This might be a bug, or just simple misunderstanding from mu side. In any case could you please tell me how to make it work?

Here is excerpt from the playbook:

---
- hosts: test
  remote_user: "{{experiment.username}}"
  vars:
    experiment:
      username: attenuation
  tasks:
    - name: sync
      synchronize: dest=/home/{{experiment.username}}/.pythonz/ src=../local-repo/silf-deploy-big-files/pythonz-{{ansible_architecture}}

Here is the output:

TASK: [sync] ******************************************************************
failed: [test_ansible] => {"cmd": "rsync --delay-updates --compress --timeout=10 --archive --rsh 'ssh  -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no' --out-format='<<CHANGED>>%i %n%L' ../local-repo/silf-deploy-big-files/pythonz-x86_64 ans...@192.168.56.90:/home/attenuation/.pythonz/", "failed": true, "rc": 12}

Here is revelent host

I use current version:

$ ansible --version
ansible 1.4

PS. I somehow missed your response.
