I’m getting errors with pam\_limits on the latest Ansible 2.1:

> TASK [system\_configs : pam\_limits] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> fatal: [10.1.107.1]: FAILED! =\> {“failed”: true, “msg”: “module (pam\_limits) is missing interpreter line”}
> 
> fatal: [10.1.97.1]: FAILED! =\> {“failed”: true, “msg”: “module (pam\_limits) is missing interpreter line”}

This is the task:

> - pam\_limits: domain=\* limit\_item=nofile limit\_type=- value=65536

Is this a bug?

you seem to be using a custom pam\_limits module that does not have a shebang
