Now that there is general purpose `Fact` helper to detect if systemd
is active, we would be able to rely on that to apply SystemdStrategy.
Detecting presence of systemd at runtime would be more reliable than
distribution version based heuristics. (e.g., Debian, Ubuntu allows
user to change the default init system, Gentoo allows switching as
well, and so on).
By default, ssh-keygen will pick a suitable default for ssh keys
for all type of keys. By hardocing the number of bits to the
RSA default, we make life harder for people picking Elliptic
Curve keys, so this commit make ssh-keygen use its own default
unless specificed otherwise by the playbook
sysrc(8) does not exit with non-zero status when encountering a
permission error.
By using service(8) `service <name> enabled`, we now check the actual
semantics expressed through calling sysrc(8), i.e. we check if the
service enablement worked from the rc(8) system's perspective.
Note that in case service(8) detects the wrong value is still set,
we still output the sysrc(8) output in the fail_json() call:
the user can derive the exact reason of failure from sysrc(8) output.
* service module: use sysrc on FreeBSD
sysrc(8) is the designated userland program to edit rc files on FreeBSD.
It first appeared in FreeBSD 9.2, hence is available on all supported
versions of FreeBSD.
Side effect: fixes#2664
* Incorporate changes suggested by bcoca.
- Use `get_bin_path` to find sysrc binary.
- Only use sysrc when available (support for legacy versions of FreeBSD)
Currently, when writing user's crontab, ansible calls
crontab <file> -u <user>
This is incorrect according to crontab(1) on both FreeBSD and Linux,
which suggest that file argument should be the last.
At least on FreeBSD, this leads to incorrect cron module bahavior which
writes to root's crontab instead of users's
