Hello everybody,

     I am using Ansible user module to create Aix machine account. I found 
that the new created user can't login Aix machine. 

     The below is my some test step;
     1. Generate a crypted password by ansible provided method. The 
cleartext password is "123456"
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/faq.html#how-do-i-generate-crypted-passwords-for-the-user-module
     2. Use below command to create a new Aix user successful.
ansible 192.168.2.*** -m "user" -a "state=present name=ray 
password=$6$PbSwE6eWakaP9VSl$GjZhuR5.6ICTM6K/.91gss2iYbhJoLU1B51XXqxCMIcVi17IMAegxlcfWNfWkuYkldRuKJLw9xjTp/F4.hFYq0"
     3. Login Aix machine with the new user failed. The reason is error 
password.

If we get a crypted password by Aix from /etc/security/passwd, replace the 
above password that was crypted by ansible doc with the new crypted 
password. We can login Aix with new account.

So, the issue reason should be Aix machine can't accept the cryted password 
that is generated by referring Ansible doc.
How can we generate a correctly password for Aix machine?  Thank a lot.


Thanks
Ray Tan
