An Ansible role to create users, groups, email aliases, configure sudo and lock
down root account. The intended use case is to replace setting up an LDAP or
NIS server. The role also installs sudo and creates a sudoers group that can use
sudo with a password. A password is also set if provided. For generating the
password hash needed, under Debian run: :code:`echo MyPassword | mkpasswd -m
sha-512 -s` and under OpenBSD run: :code:`echo MyPassword | encrypt`. If
provided, email alias and SSH authorized keys are set. If
:code:`users_lock_root` is set to :code:`True` (by default it is) then local and
SSH root login is disabled. Another use case is to manage system users, for
example to disable the local root login add root to the :code:`users` variable
with the password :code:`!`, setting an email address will also set mail
forwarding.
