I have Kodi running on a Raspberry Pi, for which I'm writing an Ansible playbook. This playbook includes two tasks that check that a line is present in /etc/sudoers
, with one passing consistently but the other failing consistently. I can't seem to pinpoint the reason why; the syntax of the two tasks is exactly the same, and both lines are definitely in the /etc/sudoers
file. I've included the relevant code below, any input would be highly appreciated.
/etc/sudoers
:
# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults env_reset
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/halt, /usr/bin/passwd
Cmnd_Alias PERMISSIONS = /bin/chmod, /bin/chown
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
debian-transmission ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: PERMISSIONS
Defaults env_keep += "RPI_UPDATE_UNSUPPORTED"
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
# (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move
# it further down)
%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
#
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
Relevant snippet from the playbook tasks:
- name: set pi permissions in /etc/sudoers
lineinfile: "dest=/etc/sudoers
state=present
line='pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL'
validate='visudo -cf %s'"
- name: set debian-transmission permissions in /etc/sudoers
lineinfile: "dest=/etc/sudoers
state=present
line='debian-transmission ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: PERMISSIONS'
validate='visudo -cf %s'"
(I'm aware that the first task is unnecessary since that is the system default, but I added it while trying to figure out why the other task wasn't working just to prove a point.)
And here's the output when I run the playbook:
TASK: [kodi | start transmission-daemon again once settings.json has been copied] ***
changed: [kodi]
TASK: [kodi | set pi permissions in /etc/sudoers] *****************************
ok: [kodi]
TASK: [kodi | set debian-transmission permissions in /etc/sudoers] ************
failed: [kodi] => {"cmd": "visudo -cf /tmp/tmpZNRBC3", "failed": true, "rc": 2}
msg: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
