Hi,

I wrote a simple little oracle_user module in bash that accepts a username 
and a state (present|absent) that creates or deletes a user depending on 
the requested state. No action when user exists and state is present, 
create user when state is present and user does not exist. When user exists 
and state is absent, drop user and no action when state is absent and user 
does not exist.
Quite simple.

In a playbook it looks like:
---
- hosts: orardbms
  sudo: True
  sudo_user: oracle
  vars:
    ORACLE_SID: "ORCL"

  tasks:
  - name: create or remove oracle users
    action: oracle_user ORACLE_SID="{{ ORACLE_SID }}" ORACLE_USER="{{ 
item.username }}" ORACLE_STATE="{{ item.state }}"
    with_items:
    - { username : "ronra",  state : "present" }
    - { username : "ronrb",  state : "absent" }
    - { username : "ronrc",  state : "present" }
    - { username : "ronrd",  state : "present" }

now my question: what about the users that are in the database and not in 
my list?
How can I detect the fact that users do exist in the database that are not 
in my list of managed users because they have been manually created by some 
backdoor procedure? I would like to get rid of them on the first run. The 
way it works now is that every user causes the invocation of the 
oracle_user script, that returns a simple answer for every user. Simple but 
not sufficient to catch aliens. How can I catch those aliens without making 
this much harder or creating extra data structures? A pointer to a simple 
example is very welcome.

Thanks,
Ronald.
