I have been trying to create a playbook to modify system config files--in
this case, postifx configs--and, to restart the postfix service when done.
While I've gotten the script to run without errors (I think), despit the
ansible output suggesting everything was done successfully, nothing
actually happened on the remote system
Here is my playbook:
---
- name: correct postfix inet_protocol configuration for ipv4 only
hosts: '{{ target }}'
remote_user: my_user_name
become: yes
become_method: sudo
tasks:
- name: Test become
command: whoami
register: the_user
- name: Debug become
debug:
msg: "{{ the_user }}"
- name: Ensure /etc/postfix directory is present
file: path=/etc/postfix state=directory
- name: validate /etc/postfix/main.cf
local_action: stat path="/etc/postfix/main.cf"
register: result
ignore_errors: True
- name: Limit inet_protocol in postfix/main.cf to IPv4 only
lineinfile:
dest: dest=/etc/postfix/main.cf
state: present
regexp: '^inet_protocols\s+=\s+all'
line: '#inet_protocols = all\ninet_protocols = ipv4'
validate: 'grep "inet_protocols = ipv4" %s'
register: postfix_inet_proto_ok
tags: postfix_inet_proto
- name: Restart postfix
service: name=postfix state=restarted
when: postfix_inet_proto_ok|success
...
I added the debug to show that become is actually working, and I'm not
getting any sudo password errors--I shouldn't, my username is able to sudo
(on both local and remote systems) without a password.
I have even tried mofifying the ansible.cfg "sudo_flags" parameter, but
that made no difference. I set it back to: "sudo_flags = -H -S -n"
Here is the output of running that playbook:
[my_user_name@fedora_linux ansible]$ ansible-playbook -i hosts pb/
postfix_ipv6_fix.yml --extra-vars "target=rhel_linux_server"

I have also tried using templates, and that doesn't work either.
But, in the end, the postfix config is not actually modified, and the
postfix service is not actually restarted.
Does anyone have any clue what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
