If a playbook to ensure the existence of a user contains 'random:false' and 'update_password: always' is executed twice, the second execution will raise an exception due to "No modifications to perform", as there is actually nothing to modify. The fix for the issue is to remove 'random' if it is not set to true, as setting it to 'false' would have no effect on the user object. Related: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-4934

playbooks/<module_name>/directory
-
Tests:
- Test cases (also playbooks) defined in
tests/<module_name>/test_<something>.yml. It's ok to have multiple files in this directory.
- Test cases (also playbooks) defined in
Use the script utils/new_module to create the stub files for a new module.
