The Ansible task will use the ``pwck`` command to search for non-unique usernames on the system. If any matching usernames are found, an error will be printed and the playbook will fail. **NOTE:** The ``pwck`` command will find other abnormalities on the system, including users that exist in ``/etc/passwd`` but not in ``/etc/shadow``, and vice versa. If the playbook fails on this task, try to run this command on the system as root to find out what caused the failure: .. code-block:: bash pwck -rq
