Add working status detection for pf on FreeBSD
i'm going to merge this to give you a usable workaround, still I consider this a bug in the init script.
Includes commits for:
* Don't return change if the password is not set
* Set the group to nogroup if none is specified
* Set an uid if none is specified
* Test if SHADOWFILE is set (for Darwin)
* remove unused uid
Upstart scripts are being incorrectly identified as SysV init scripts
due to a logic error in the `service` module.
Because upstart uses multiple commands (`/sbin/start`, `/sbin/stop`,
etc.) for managing service state, the codepath for upstart sets
`self.svc_cmd` to an empty string on line 451.
Empty strings are considered a non-truthy value in Python, so
conditionals which are checking the state of `self.svc_cmd` should
explicitly compare it to `None` to avoid overlooking the fact that
the service may be controlled by an upstart script.
I have a task like this in a playbook. The ansible_ssh_user is 'root'
for this host.
- cron:
hour: 00
job: /home/backup/backup.sh
name: baserock.org data backup
user: backup
Running it gave me the following error:
TASK: [backup cron job, runs every day at midnight] ***************************
failed: [baserock-backup1] => {"failed": true}
msg: crontab: can't open '/tmp/crontabvVjoZe': Permission denied
crontab: user backup cannot read /tmp/crontabvVjoZe
The temporary file created by the 'cron' module is created with the
Python tempfile.mkstemp() function. This creates a file that is readable
only by 'root' (mode 600). The Busybox `crontab` program then checks if
the file is readable by the 'backup' user, and fails if it isn't. So we
need to make sure the file is world-readable before running `crontab`.
I tried a playbook with the following (accidentally wrong) task:
tasks:
- name: authorized key test
authorized_key: key=/home/sam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key_options='command="/foo/bar"' user=sam
I got the following traceback:
TASK: [authorized key test] ***************************************************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 2515, in <module>

File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 460, in main
results = enforce_state(module, module.params)

parsed_new_key = (parsed_new_key[0], parsed_new_key[1], parsed_options, parsed_new_key[3])
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
With this fix, I see the expected error instead:
TASK: [authorized key test] ***************************************************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true}
msg: invalid key specified: /home/sam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
This option allows the module to ensure that ONLY the specified keys
exist in the authorized_keys file. All others will be removed. This is
quite useful when rotating keys and ensuring no other key will be
accepted.
This adds a must_exist option to the service module, which gives callers the
ability to be tolerant to services that do not exist. This allows for
opportunistic manipulation of a list of services if they happen to exist on the
host. While failed_when could be used, it's difficult to track all the
different error strings that might come from various service tools regarding a
missing service.
the AIX class uses a unsafe shell for setting the user password (containing a pipe in the command). This patch adopts to the new behavior of module_utils/basic.py (since somewhere around 1.7).
besides it changes the qoutes for the echo command from double to single, because password-hashes contain $-signs and one would not have this variables expanded.
We need to handle the string returned by 'default' in the same way we handle
the string returned by 'status' since the resulting flags are compared later.
The return code of "service pf onestatus" is usually zero on FreeBSD (tested with FreeBSD 10.0), even if pf is not running. So the service module always thinks that pf is running, even when it needs to be started.
* Use the newly added 'default' argument to know if the default flags are set
or not.
* Handle that 'status' may either return flags or YES/NO.
* Centralize flag handling logic.
* Set action variable after check if we need to keep going.
Big thanks to @ajacoutot for implementing the rcctl 'default' argument.
* Make the module support enable/disable of special services like pf via rcctl.
Idea and method from @jarmani.
* Make the module handle when the user supplied 'arguments' variable does not
match the current flags in rc.conf.local.
* Update description now that the code tries to use rcctl for everything if it
is available.
Based on input from @jarmani:
* A return value of 2 now means a service does not exist. Instead of
trying to handle the different meanings of rc after running "status",
just look at stderr to know if something failed.
* Skip looking at stdout to make the code cleaner. Any errors should
turn up on stderr.
The default is not very useful to sort between different
keys and user. Adding the hostname in the comment permit to later
sort them if you start to reuse the key and set them in different
servers. See https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/7420
for the rational.
standards compliant return codes but return a verbose error message via
stdout. Limit the times when we invoke the heuristic to attempt to work
around this.
Centos 6.x and below use an old RHT style of configuring hostname.
CentOS 7.x and better use systemd. Instead of depending on the
distribution string which seems to have changed over the course of 6.x
we need to explicitly check the version.
Fixes#8997
The "name" parameter seems to be rather important as the identifying feature of a cron job. This is an update to the documentation to further emphasize this.
As far as I can tell, `name` is a required parameter. The guard test at (now) line 458 says you need name if `state == present` and at 464 if `state != present`, although that's not quite as clear. Each of the code paths at 485 - 495 pass the name param through to `add_job`, `update_job` and `remove_job`, and the actual _update_job method earlier seems to require it too. However I don't really know python so I may be wrong, but I can't see the circumstances when `name` is not required.
This avoids a stale situation where name/path contains some impossible path,
but gets configured (faultly) in fstab, and the module only fails after that,
when creating that path.
We wrap get_distribution_version() with a new function,
_get_distribution_version(), that returns `0` when the result is a string or
`None`.
This accounts for the case when get_distribution_version() returns a string,
and we try to compare it to a float. We do this in the hostname module instead
of the module snippets because other modules may want the real string
version.module snippets because other modules may want the real string version.
This fixes a bug introduced by 138b45e3.
The hostname has an additional newline at the end which leads to the
state always being 'changed: true' even if the hostname is unchanged.
