Building a file from multiple pieces is, IME, very ugly in puppet. People usually do it via creating a temp directory, populating it, then concatenating fragments. Somethings this is abstracted, but it's always pretty fragile. My approach has been to shift anything I can towards including directories of conf snippets (like sudo) or to use augeas where I can't. cron isn't a great example since puppet has a native type that handles it pretty sanely. seph _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
