grog / ansible-role-management-user Goto Github PK

I added the user state: absent, but without the remove: yes and then authorized_keys will fail with:

Failed to lookup user backup-user: 'getpwnam(): name not found: backup-user'

So that is, if there is no user already, the authorized_key will fail later on

i'm using ansible 2.8.0

First thank you for this ansible-management-user role. I know this is not a bug - I'm trying to make it work - but seem not to understand something. The role works, just keys don't get copied to servers authorized_keys file, if I want to create more users, not just one. One user in defaults/main.yml works, if I list more, keys don't get copied.

The default home directory location shouldn't be /home as a management user shouldn't be used by a person anyway. In my opinion, it should default to something more sane, like /var/lib/management-users or something alike.
I would like to use this role on my mail VM, but on this machine a NFS share is mounted to /home where the users mail are stored and their .forward files are accessed. For that reason, I'd like the default path of the home directory for management users to be somewhere else in the FHS.

Hello,
The grog.management-user role still has a dependency to grog.sudo 1.4.4.
I think it should be updated to 1.6.

Another point. Sometimes capital letters are used and sometimes small letters. Is there a reason for that?

Kind regards,
Elchior

I tried add [ remove: yes ], but not working.
