DHCPd on Ubuntu validation fails
Calling host: las126.las.kit.edu (Fedora 27)
Failing nodes: las93
Summary
The validation of the DHCPd config fails on Ubuntu (Lab computer). There is at least one person experiencing the same issue, https://superuser.com/questions/1286948/ansible-template-validation-fails-on-isc-dhcp-server , but no answer so far.
The file is not copied and the task aborts.
Steps to reproduce
Run the lab role with validate: "{{ bin_path }} -t -cf %s" activated.
What is the current bug behavior?
The role fails and the files host-list-maglab and dhcpd.conf are not copied to the node.
What is the expected correct behaviour?
The task succeeds and the dhcpd.conf and the decrypted host-list-maglab file are at the node.

Work around: Check the validity at your own host and don't use the validity check on the node.
