vars/RedHat.yml: htop is not present in RH-supported repositories

Enforcing the presence of htop require the EPEL repository to be enabled. However neither does RH support EPEL packages, nor is it always even recommended to enable EPEL in certain situations. (i.e. on RHVH and vdsm version are known examples to me).

Either dropping the requirement for htop OR having a knob/variable that allows enabling/disabling EPEL for RHEL-derived distributions and defaulting to false if on RHEL would be quite nice.

Disable rsync daemon

ANSIBLE VERSION

n/a

CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

SUMMARY

The rsync package on Ubuntu/Debian (and maybe also on EL) enables the rsync daemon by default. Why the heck would you need the a daemon on every system?! This role should therefore disable the rsync daemon after the package installation to prevent unnecessary service startups, even if the daemon fails by default due to the missing start condition (config file).
