Hey Chad,

What makes you think the regex and replacement aren't idempotent?
I just ran your task twice. The first time it changes the line as expected. The second time it makes no change.

I think it's right, but feel free to persuade me otherwise.

Hi everyone,

I am really having a very Monday Monday today and am just having a fit with my regex. I’m working on implementing part of the DISA STIG for RHEL 9 and need to edit /etc/bashrc, specifically:

    # Set default umask for non-login shell only if it is set to 0

    [ `umask` -eq 0 ] && umask 022

I need to change that “umask 022” to “umask 077” and I’ve gotten as far as this:

- name: RHEL-09-412055 | RHEL 9 must define default permissions for the bash shell

  ansible.builtin.lineinfile:

    path: /etc/bashrc

    regexp: \sumask\s\d{3}

    line: "[ `umask` -eq 0 ] && umask 077"

But then realized that the regexp and replacement isn’t idempotent and since then my brain has just decided to go on a little vacation by itself.

I was thinking about some sort of capture group and then something saying “if <capture group> != ‘077’,” but I think I completely lost the plot at that point.

Thank you for any help on this Mondayest of Mondays.
