Older versions of selinux, such as that deployed on rhel5, only return a
context of user:role:type instead of user:role:type:level. This detects
whether the tuple has three elements (old-style) or four. If the
old-style, it keeps the secontext list at three elements.
The value is passed to apt-get's "-t" option. Useful for installing backports, e.g.:
ansible webservers -m apt -a "pkg=nginx state=latest default-release=squeeze-backports"
This adjusts behavior of file module such that removal of se* option
does not revert the file's selinux context to the default. In order to
go back to the default context according to the policy, you can use the
context=default option.
This collects various facts from the host so that it isn't necessary to
have facter or ohai installed. It gets various platform/distribution
facts, information about the type of hardware, whether a virtual
environment and what type, assorted interface facts, and ssh host public
keys. Most facts are flat. The two exceptions are 'processor' and all
interface facts. Interface facts are presented as:
ansible_lo : {
"macaddress": "00:00:00:00:00:00",
"ipv4": { "address": "127.0.0.1", "netmask": "255.0.0.0" },
"ipv6": [
{ "address": "::1", "prefix": "128", "scope": "host" }
]
}
This adds the options: seuser, serole, setype, and serange to the file
module. If the python selinux module doesn't exist, this will set
HAVE_SELINUX to False and punt in the related modules.
This takes the options the user provides and applies those to the
default selinux context as provided from matchpathcon(). If there is no
default context, this uses the value from the current context. This
implies that if you set the setype and later remove it, the file module
will rever the setype to the default if available.
