Hi,

I am trying to create a new user and password for the server login. The user is created in /etc/passwd and also I can see the password entry in /etc/shadow however when I try to ssh through the new user I cannot login into the server. What steps are missing in the following code?

---
- hosts: local host
  vars:
    username: random
  vars_prompt:
    - name: "user_passwd"
      prompt: "Enter a password for the user"
      private: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Add a new user
      become: yes
      user:
        name: '{{ username }}'
        shell: /bin/bash
        group: sudo
        state: present
        createhome: yes
