Yup reducing the entries and combining the conditional with setting the variable worked perfectly... (plus reformatting)
Here's an example from my group_vars/RedHat file which sets the syslog variable differently dependent on whether the RHEL version is less than six or six or greater. syslog: "{% if ansible_distribution_version|truncate(1,true,'') >= '6' %}rsyslog{% else %}syslog{% endif %}" Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
