Does anyone know of an existing module that allows me to manage krb5 princs and keytabs that also supports --check-mode?

I found one that essentially runs a bash script to add princs, but it doesn’t check first to see if the entry exists (if I remember, it was meant for creating the admin for a new install).

I’m about to just write my own, but figured I’d ask here as a last attempt to find something that already exists.
