Package: ansible
Version: 1.1+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

When executing the ping module on server:

 ansible servername -c ssh -m ping

It causes a log entry on the target server

 # grep -r servername /var/log/
 /var/log/messages:May  8 15:09:07 servername ansible-ping: Invoked with 
data=None 
 /var/log/user.log:May  8 15:09:07 servername ansible-ping: Invoked with 
data=None 
 /var/log/syslog:May  8 15:09:07 servername ansible-ping: Invoked with 
data=None 

And if servername rungs logcheck this becomes very annoying because a mail 
report will be send for this entries to the admin.

"""
This email is sent by logcheck. If you no longer wish to receive
such mail, you can either deinstall the logcheck package or modify
its configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).

System Events
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
May  8 15:09:07 servername ansible-ping: Invoked with data=None

"""


If instead the ping module the service module is executed.

 ansible servername -c ssh -m service -a "name=collectd state=started"

The same happens.

 # grep -r ansible-ser /var/log/
 /var/log/messages:May  8 19:15:27 servername ansible-service: Invoked with 
pattern=None state=started enabled=None name=collectd arguments= 
 /var/log/user.log:May  8 19:15:27 servername ansible-service: Invoked with 
pattern=None state=started enabled=None name=collectd arguments= 
 /var/log/syslog:May  8 19:15:27 servername ansible-service: Invoked with 
pattern=None state=started enabled=None name=collectd arguments= 


And I guess that the same will happen with all another modules. (I just tested 
this 2 ones)
