I have from time to time a need of random password without
wanting to write them down (one example is mailman list creation,
that requires a password to be given to be sent to the list owner).
But using /dev/null do not return null, but the empty string, which
doesn't generate a password at all and so do not achieve my use case.
* Add tests for `get_fqdn_and_port` method.
Currently tests verify original behavior - returning default `ssh-keyscan` port
Add test around `add_host_key` to verify underlying command arguments
Add some new expectations for `get_fqdn_and_port`
Test that non-standard port is passed to `ssh-keyscan` command
* Ensure ssh hostkey checks respect server port
ssh-keyscan will default to getting the host key for port 22.
If the ssh service is running on a different port, ssh-keyscan
will need to know this.
Tidy up minor flake8 issues
* Update known_hosts tests for port being None
Ensure that git urls don't try and set port when a path
is specified
Update known_hosts tests to meet flake8
* Fix stdin swap context for test_known_hosts
Move test_known_hosts from under basic, as it is its own library.
Remove module_utils.known_hosts from pep8 legacy files list
hashlib hashes operate on byte strings. When given a text string on
Python3, hashlib backtraces. When given a text string on Python2,
hashlib will backtrace if the string contains non-ascii characters.
Encode the text string to utf-8 prior to hashing to avoid this problem.

'#' and ';' are both valid comment chars for sysctl.conf files
according to the 'man sysctl.conf':
"Lines which begin with a # or ; are considered comments and ignored."
Fixes#20569
* removes unused code
* removes module_utils/local.py
* removes plugins/action/network.py
* removes action_handler from connection plugins
* removes code to use action_handler in task_executor
* updates action plugins to subclass from normal
The f5 module utils were using a file name that appeared to
conflict with the f5 python SDK's namespace. This patch just changes
the name of the included class to be f5_utils to avoid the issue
of namespace collisions
This completes the refactor of the nxos modules to use the persistent
connection. It also updates all of the nxos modules to use the
new connection module and preserves use of nxapi as well.
* updates all iosxr modules to support persistent socket
* adds iosxr action plugin to connect to device
* adds exec_command() to iosxr shared module
* fixes iosxr_config and iosxr_template local action
* update all unit test cases
* adds base test module for iosxr module testing
Don't try to create tags on a vpc that you've just removed.
Avoids
```
"msg": "An error occurred (InvalidParameterValue) when calling the CreateTags operation: You must specify one or more tags to create"
```
Although not quite sure why the `create_tags` was being called
as `module.params.get('tags')` *should* have returned `None`.
Move to using a requirements.txt to install the python packages.
This makes it easy to keep the documentation and actual package
dependencies in sync.
Fixes#18453
I plan on converting most all f5 modules to use the rest api, so
this is part of that conversion. it adds a factory method to get
the various rest management root apis provided in the f5 sdk
* Refactor E-Series AMG module to use module_utils
Refactor the NetApp E-Series module to utlize the common module_utils
and doc_fragments.
* Resolve a PEP8 issue with a missing newline
* Resolve compatibility issue with json import
* removes connection functions refactored into connection
* updates ComplexDict and ComplexList objects to use with AnsibleModule
* updates modules to add new argument to ComplexList & ComplexDict
