Hi all, to setup raspberry pis I would like to use the following palybooks (the actual yaml is at the end).
1. with remote_user=defaultuser, become and add newuser 2. with remote_user=newuser, become and delete defaultuser If I play this with some docker container as target it works but if the target is a raspberry pi 3 (running archlinux or raspbian) I get: TASK [remove default user] ********************************************************************************************************************* fatal: [192.168.1.129]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "userdel: user defaultuser is currently used by process 615\n", "name": "defaultuser", "rc": 8} This seems to happen because when the second playbook runs there is still a defaultuser ssh process running from the first playbook. Looking into it I found out about `-o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s`. And if I `export ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS='-o ControlMaster=no'` before `ansible-playbook` it works also on the raspberry pi. So my questions are the following. Why does this affect the rasperry pi but not some docker containers? With the default `ControlPersist=60s` it seems that it should also fail on the docker container. And is it possible to set `ControlMaster=no` for a specific playbook? Thanks Davide Playbooks: --- # login as default user and add new user - hosts: testhost vars_files: - secret vars: ansible_password: "{{ defaultuserpassword }}" ansible_become_pass: "{{ rootpassword }}" remote_user: "{{ defaultusername }}" become: yes become_method: su tasks: - name: "add user {{ remoteusername }}" user: name: "{{ remoteusername }}" password: "{{ remoteuserpassword|password_hash('sha512') }}" shell: /bin/bash state: present # login as newuser and remove default user - hosts: testhost vars_files: - secret vars: ansible_password: "{{ remoteuserpassword }}" ansible_become_pass: "{{ rootpassword}}" remote_user: "{{ remoteusername }}" become: yes become_method: su tasks: - name: remove default user user: name: "{{ defaultusername }}" state: absent remove: yes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
