This is weird and I am not sure of what really caused it all I know is I just wanted to start making motd files bit more useful. Created this simple playbook
--- - hosts: web user: root tasks: - name: Ensure the MOTD file is present and updated template: src: motd dest: /etc/motd owner: root group: root mode: 0644 - name: Ensure the hostname is the same of the inventory hostname: name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" using this template This system is managed by Ansible Any change done on this system could be overwritten by Ansible OS: {{ ansible_distribution }} {{ ansible_distribution_version }} Hostname: {{ inventory_hostname }} Main Ip address: {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }} All connections are monitored and recorded Disconnect IMMEDIATELY if you are not an authorized user I ran this on 2 servers. The login prompt changed for example to this [root@10 ~]# ansible --version ansible 2.2.1.0 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = Default w/o overrides I have checked ~/.bashrc /etc/bashrc /etc/profile i see nothing that would have changed the prompt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
