write a playbook that creates an admin user account #4

Wings:

Also, it could be helpful to write a playbook that creates the user:

"estadmin" UID 1336 GID 1336 Non system user Shell /bin/bash

And populates it with pubkeys defined in Git.

That way we can roll out keys to every machine so that we can open up access to boxes to Lodge, Alvin, etc.

estadmin will be the primary way people log onto boxes until we get LDAP in place.

I'm thinking this could be a part of like a 'standard operating environment' playbook that also resolves issues like this one: https://github.com/application-research/estuary-hosted-infrastructure/issues/1

Yeah, basically. I was going to call it "base-playbook" in keeping with traditions at previous employers. It's the base of any machine.
