Sorry for the confusion. I got a custom fact script on the remote machine. /etc/ansible/facts.d/node_guid.fact
which looks like this: #! /usr/bin/env python import sys import json def get_prop(line): return line.split("=")[1].strip() try: f = open('/etc/zypp/credentials.d/NCCcredentials') except IOError: print("{}") sys.exit(0) context = {} keys = ['username'] for line in f: for key in keys: if line.startswith(key): context[key] = get_prop(line) print json.dumps(context) sys.exit(0) '/etc/zypp/credentials.d/NCCcredentials' is set readable only for root. Therefore 'node_guid.fact' only returns facts as sudo. Which is the reason why I call the setup module with `sudo:yes` -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
