Thanks Bruno!

Advisory:
========================

Updated ansible package fixes security vulnerability:

A flaw was found in the way Ansible passed certain parameters to the
jenkins_plugin module. A remote attacker could use this flaw to expose
sensitive information from a remote host's logs. This flaw was fixed by not
allowing passwords to be specified in the "params" argument, and noting this
in the module documentation (CVE-2017-7550).

The ansible package has been updated to version 2.4.1 to fix this issue and
several other bugs.

Mageia 6 on x86_64.

Created a /tmp/hosts file containing the IP addresses of two machines on the LAN.
Used the ansible ping command successfully - see reference in comment 2.

Updated ansible.

$ ansible -i /tmp/hosts all -m ping
192.168.1.3 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "failed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.161 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "failed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}

If this is all that is required then ansible is OK.

Mageia 6 on i586 in virtualbox

Installed ansible and updated it.
Created new public RSA key and copied it to two hosts on the network.
$ cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh lcl@belexeuli 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
$ cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh lcl@hamal 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
Password:...........

Then ran the ansible test command.

$ ansible -i /tmp/hosts all -m ping
192.168.1.156 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "failed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.161 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "failed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}

OK for 32-bits.
