[ale] Security Template (STIG) Scripts for RHEL on github

[Raj Wurttemberg]

Can Ansible do simple checks on files?

Examples:
- Check settings inside sshd_config
- Check settings inside PAM files
- Make sure certain NICs have a specific MTU

I looked at Ansible briefly, but I thought it was more for deploying
settings and packages.  I'm looking to just QA servers.

Kind regards,
Raj
