Role Name

Ansible role to manage ssh pub keys on remote systems...allows the addition or removal of keys for remote users.

Requirements

In order to use this role, existing ssh keys must exist in the location which is defined under the keys var. Otherwise, the tasks will error when ran (by design in order to bring attention to missing keys which are expected.)
