I am trying to use a simple ansible playbook to automate changing the root
password. However, on 4 of my hosts, the password is changed each time I
run the playbook. So, with the simple playbook password.yml consisting of
---
- hosts: all
vars:
tasks:
- name: Change root password
user: name=root password='$6$salt$etcetc.'
Running this on selected hosts gives
# ansible-playbook password.yml -l host1,host2
PLAY [all]
********************************************************************
GATHERING FACTS
***************************************************************
ok: [host1]
ok: [host2]
TASK: [Change root password]
**************************************************
ok: [host1]
changed: [host2]
PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
host1 : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
host2 : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
No matter how many times I run this, host2 is always changed - despite the
new encrypted password already being in the shadow file on host2 as it
actually worked the first time I ran the playbook.
All 4 problems hosts are debian squeeze, but I have plenty of other debian
squeeze hosts that are working just fine - e.g. host1.
Anyone have any insight into what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Bret
