Hi My latest roadblock is trying to template sudoers. And I can't figure out why this won't work:
My playbook calling the role is simple enough: --- - hosts: host1 sudo: True gather_facts: no roles: - { role: myrole, sudoers: true, altsudoers: false } And the tasks/main.yml goes like this: --- - name: template the sudoers file template: src=sudoers.j2 dest=/etc/sudoers owner=root group=root mode=0400validate ="visudo -cf %s" when: sudoers So nothing out of the ordinary. Even dull. When it plays, this happens: $ ansible-playbook playbook.yml -s PLAY [host1] ************************************************************** TASK: [myrole | template the sudoers file] ********************************** failed: [host1] => {"cmd": "visudo -cf /tmp/ansible-tmp-1399451238.53-220572162134665/source", "failed": true, "item": "", "rc": 2} msg: [Errno 2] No such file or directory When I go to the client machine to see the file, the whole dir "ansible-tmp-1399451238.53-220572162134665", is not there. It does not exist. So one would think "permissions" or "sudo" issues, but this following task works with no issues whatsoever in the very same dir (/tmp): - name: alternative copy the sudoers to /tmp copy: src=sudoers dest=/tmp/sudoers when: altsudoers - name: alternative validate the /tmp copy shell: "/usr/sbin/visudo -c -f /tmp/sudoers && cp /tmp/sudoers /etc/sudoers" when: altsudoers - name: alternative clean up shell: rm /tmp/sudoers removes=/tmp/sudoers when: altsudoers It would seem this has nothing to do with permissions, then. So what am I missing? in a very simple templating operation? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
