Usually, the *samba* role is deployed as a dependency of the *winbind*
role, which explicitly sets `samba_security` to `ads`. The new
*fileserver* role also depends on the *samba* role, but it does NOT sett
that variable. This can cause `smb.conf` to be rewritten with a
different value whenever one or the other role is applied.
Explicitly setting the `samba_security` variable at the group level
ensures that the value is consistent no matter how the *samba* role is
applied. Since all domain member machines need the same value,
regardless of what function they perform, this is safe.
Converting the *pyrocufflink* group variables definition from a file to
a directory will allow Jenkins jobs to place a Vault-envrypted file
within it that defines the `ansible_become_password` variable. In this
way, a different password can be used for machines that are members of
the *pyrocufflink.blue* domain than for other hosts. The existing
mechanism of specifying the path to the Vault-encrypted file that
defines the variable allows only a single password to be defined, so it
does not work when multiple machines in the same play have different
passwords.
