Hi Branko,
Thanks for the response. I only posted what was on line 20. I'm noticing a
general issue where if I double-bracket variables, even as Ansible
instructs me, I still receive error messages. I'm using Ansible version
2.1.1.0.
Code:
*---*
*- hosts: all*
* become: yes*
* vars_prompt:*
* - name: "new_user"*
* - prompt: "What is the name of the new user to create?"*
* tasks:*
* - name: Create new user*
* command: useradd {{ new_user }}*
* - name: Generate new SSH pub/priv key for user*
*# Do you just have a file with a pasted public key for distribution or
auto-generate one?*
* - name: Add user to local authorized_keys file*
* - lineinfile:*
* path: /home/"{{ new_user }}"/.ssh/authorized_keys*
* state: present*
* create: True*
*# line: #Reference to what upper decision was*
* group: {{ new_user }}*
* owner: {{ new_user }}*
For some reason, when I reference the new user name as part of a path to
set a file, I get the requirement that the variable needs to be in quotes.
Any ideas?
