+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and

+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or

+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+# users
+
+Adds local users to a host, from a list of users.  This is primariliy for
+interactive (human) users - user accounts created for a specific program or
+installation should be done within that role.
+
+To use this role, the following information must be collected from the user:
+
+1. The desired username and full name for the account
+
+2. Ask the user to generate password hashes, with the `make passwd` command
+   (runs the `goodpassword.py` script)
+
+3. (optional) The user's SSH public key
+
+User records are created from the list  `userlist`, where each list item is a
+per-user dictionary.
+
+> **NOTE**: When this role is run, the password and all SSH keys for all users
+> specified are replaced with the ones defined in the role.
+
+The dictionary has the following keys:
+
+- `username`: The lowercase unix username for the user, which should be
+  lowercase and lacking in spaces. There may be other OS-specific requirements.
+
+- `fullname`: The full human name, or "comment" for the user.
+
+- `sha512crypt` and/or `bcrypt`: Hashed passwords, using two different
+  algorithms, depending on the OS type. These two password hashes can be
+  generated by running `make passwd` (requires
+  [passlib](https://passlib.readthedocs.io/) to be installed)
+
+- `sudoer`: If set to `true`, the user is added to the group able to run
+  commands as root with sudo.  The particular group used is dependent on the
+  OS's convention (usually either `wheel` or `sudo`).
+
+- `ssh_key`: Whether or not to copy the SSH public key from the local `files/`
+  [search
+  path](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbook_pathing.html)
+  to the remote account's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file.  The default value is
+  `true`, and the name of the file expected is `<username>.pub`.
+
+Each entry in the userlist has a few optional parameters:
+
+- Users are added to other groups specified in the `extra_groups` list. These
+  groups must exist before users can be added to them.  This option does not
+  change/remove already existing group memberships from the user.
+
+- Users can be created as `system` users by setting `system: true`. This will
+  prevent the `skel` files from being copied on most systems, and may change
+  some group memberships.
+
+For reference, please see the Ansible
+[user](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/user_module.html) and
+[authorized_key](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/authorized_key_module.html)
+modules.
+
+Related topics:
+
+Passlib has a nice comparison of [password hash
+security](https://passlib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/narr/quickstart.html#choosing-a-hash).
+
+## Requirements
+
+Minimum ansible version: 2.9.5
+
+## Example Playbook
+
+```yaml
+- hosts: all
+  vars:
+    userlist:
+       - username: aturing
