I've been trying different methods, and trying to escape the characters '\', but I cannot seem to figure out how to pass this whole command through.

I haven't really turned up anything online either.

I've tested the command locally on my admin server and it works as stated, but not with ansible.

ansible dns-servers -m shell -s -a "auditctl -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S fchownat -F auid\>=500 -F auid\!=4294967295 -k perm_mod"

dns001.polly.com | FAILED | rc=0 >>

unsupported parameter for module: auid\>

Thanks for any assistance.

I had to quote a equal sign when using ad-hoc commands against a
freebsd host. Also try single quotes instead of double quotes just to
rule out the controller's shell interfering...
