Wait, is it really necessary to set gpgcheck to no? Seems risky.

Just a heads up, the baseurl link has a typo, it should be .rpm not .rmp.

I remember needing to set `state=absent` in a previous exercise, but I can't remember if that was for enabling or disabling a repo.

I feel like I need to double-check the path for the bash shebang line; I think it should be `#!/bin/bash`, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

I practiced a similar question where we had to enable a repo, but I can't recall if I used `enabled=yes` or `enabled=true`.

I think I remember using the `yum_repository` module for setting up repos, but I'm not entirely sure about the syntax for the baseurl.

Alright, I've got this. I'll create the script, use the `yum_repository` module to set up the EPEL repo, and then check if I need to remove it afterwards. Feels like a good opportunity to practice my Ansible skills.

This looks straightforward enough. I'll make sure to use the correct Ansible module and parameters to enable the EPEL repo as specified. Shouldn't be too difficult as long as I follow the instructions carefully.

I'm a bit confused about the "state=absent" part at the end. Does that mean I need to remove the repo after setting it up? I'll have to double-check the instructions on that.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. First, I'll create the `adhoc.sh` file in the `/home/sandy/ansible` directory. Then, I'll use the `ansible` command to run the `yum_repository` module with the specified parameters.

Hmm, this looks like a straightforward task. I'll need to create a bash script and use Ansible's `yum_repository` module to set up the EPEL repo.

Wait, did someone say 'chmod 0777'? That's a bit overkill, don't you think? Let's keep the permissions a bit more secure, shall we?

Haha, the script is almost perfect, but I think we need to add a 'reponame=EPEL' parameter to match the name specified in the question.
