Hi Todd,

 

<insert Picard facepalm.gif>

 

Thank you and Rilindo for looking at this. I just got too inside of my head 
yesterday. You’re right, this does work as expected. 

 

(I probably should have just stayed in bed yesterday.)

 

Thank you all so much,

Chad

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.
