Creating a user using the core user module and using the 'system' property
still seems to create a home directory:
- name: create test user
user:
name=test
system=yes
The resulting user has a home directory when applying this to a Centos 7
host.
According to 'man useradd', creating a system account should override any
defaults to create a home directory:
-r, --system
Create a system account.
System users will be created with no aging information in
/etc/shadow, and their numeric identifiers are chosen in the
SYS_UID_MIN-SYS_UID_MAX range, defined in /etc/login.defs,
instead
of UID_MIN-UID_MAX (and their GID counterparts for the creation
of
groups).
Note that useradd will not create a home directory for such an
user, regardless of the default setting in /etc/login.defs
(CREATE_HOME). You have to specify the -m options if you want a
home directory for a system account to be created.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Cheers,
