[ansible-project] Error after deployment: -su: /dev/null: Permission denied
I recently got some errors on the end nodes I was deploying to. Error is: -su: /dev/null: Permission denied, which in general seems to be recoverable after a reboot. It looks like the /dev/null file is just deleted somehow. Has anyone else seen this? Very weird. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ansible Project group.

I see su, so I'm not sure if you are using the new 1.5 su keyword or are running su instead the playbook, etc. I don't think I use su anywhere explicitly (shelled out), but my roles do sometimes change user.

Re: [ansible-project] Error after deployment: -su: /dev/null: Permission denied
This turned out to be a script error, where I was rm'ing a file that occassionally is /dev/null Ansible was in no way responsible. Sorry for the false alarm and thanks for the awesome software!
