# this is a demo of how the user commands work and how to reference salted passwords
# in vars sections.  You could also use vars_files if you like (see other examples)

- hosts: all
  user: root
  vars:
    # created with:
    # crypt.crypt('This is my Password', '$1$SomeSalt')
    password: $1$SomeSalt$UqddPX3r4kH3UL5jq5/ZI.

  tasks:

    # Walk through account creation, modification, and deletion
    - name: test basic user account creation
      action: user name=tset comment=TsetUser gid=100 shell=/sbin/nologin createhome=no

    # the following is just a simple example of how you don't have to include
    # the 'name' element for each task

    - action: user name=tset comment=NyetUser
    - action: user name=tset password=$password
    - action: user name=tset state=absent
