This works under a regexp tester, but fails under ansible. I don't know
how to correct it.
You need to use a Python based one, since Ansible is using Python re.
Basically, it finds the lines starting with passwd or group, looks in the
lines for sss, and appends if it isn't found.
- name: Update nsswitch.conf
replace:
path: /etc/nsswitch.conf
regexp: "{{item.regexp}}"
replace: "{{item.replace}}"
with_items:
- {regexp: '^(?:passwd):\s+(?:(?!sss).)+$', replace: '\0 sss'}
- {regexp: '^(?:group):\s+(?:(?!sss).)+$', replace: '\0 sss'}
\0 is interpreted as octal in Python re.
Try this instead
- {regexp: '(^(?:passwd):\s+(?:(?!sss).)+$)', replace: '\1 sss'}
- {regexp: '(^(?:group):\s+(?:(?!sss).)+$)', replace: '\1 sss'}
I added a parenthesis around the whole expression and references that as \1
