Ok, so you don't have to change the headers.

In inventory, just set "ansible\_python\_interpreter" as a variable.

For example, if you had a bunch of solaris hosts:

[sol]  
asdf.example.com  
foo.example.com  
bar.example.com

[sol:vars]  
ansible\_python\_interpreter=/opt/csw/bin/python

And you are good to go!

Hi I am installed CSW ansible on my solaris 11 server.  
I need to create users on 50 servers, so I wanted to use Ansible playbook.  
can anyone help me with the Syntax… There are not many documents and opencsw talks only about installation.  
I have already installed…

Once installed the online tutorial should be enough, no matter what  
the platform [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/)

There might be some bootsraping issues (mostly ensuring the correct  
python is installed), we don't have Solaris specific docs but most of  
it could be extrapolated from the BSD ones  
[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro\_bsd.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_bsd.html)

As for creating users, we have a 'user' module  
[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/user\_module.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/user_module.html)

Hope that helps,
