Someday, this will work , when the developer adds support for when changed :slight_smile:

#- name: remove sssd.conf:debug_level = 9 (X)

lineinfile: >

dest=“/etc/sssd/sssd.conf”

state=absent

backup=yes

regexp=“^debug_level =”

register: sssdConf

I feel a right bit nit wit, Foiled again by indentation. Uggg.
back that register up, beep beep beep beep.
now it works great and stands tall above all useful modules, ummm, as always.

  • name: remove sssd.conf:debug_level = 9 (X)
    lineinfile: >
    dest=“/etc/sssd/sssd.conf”
    state=absent
    backup=yes
    regexp=“^debug_level =”
    register: sssdConf

  • name: test command
    shell: “echo sssd.conf has debug_level set > /tnp/sssd.debug.check”
    when: sssdConf is changed
