ok I have been working with the user module for the last week. I really
want to like ansible because it does not have any additional client
requirements except ssh. The problem I am having is that I am getting
inconsistent results when using the user module.
I add in the user to the play, and most of the time if I add a new user it
will create it, but if I change the comment, or password, or shell or
anything like that it is very unpredictable if it actually works, but it
most likely will not work and will just give me the
: ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
for all servers after a change was made to a play.
Example play file

Am I missing something, because according to the user doc the only field
that is a requirement is "name" so ansible should be keying off that field,
and all other fields should be able to change.
I have tried removing all test* accounts from the systems and then run the
play and one of two of the seven accounts are actually added back.
