A better, more reliable approach would be to create a template sshd_config file (or just a regular, non-templated file) that is placed on nodes via the copy <http://docs.ansible.com/copy_module.html> or template<http://docs.ansible.com/template_module.html>module.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Antonio Marin <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Apr 5, 2014 at 9:02 AM Subject: [ansible-project] Help with Idempotent lineinfile regex To: [email protected] Hello, I'm trying to create a lineinfile task to append a word in a line, when it's not present, like the following: # The line should start with AllowGroups # Follows an unknown length sequence of "\s\w+" # It's possible to find groupN within the previous sequence, in which case the task should return ok # If groupN is not present, the result will be AllowGroups, followed by the existing sequence, followed by " groupN" - name: Add group to ssh allowed lineinfile: backrefs=yes dest=/etc/ssh/sshd_config regex='^AllowGroups(.*)(?! groupN)(.*)' line='AllowGroups\\1\\3 groupN' state=present I have tried several approaches but none have been successful. I would appreciate any light to achieve it. BR, Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
