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.

Subject: [ansible-project] Help with Idempotent lineinfile regex
To: ansible-project@googlegroups.com


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
