Hello,

        I am trying to edit a Samba configuration file (smb.conf) on a number 
of RHEL5 machines. I have seen some pretty cool examples of using field_edits 
combined an array of key value pairs. Because some of the values I wish to 
change contain spaces, for example allow trusted domains = no etc... I don't 
think I can use this method. 

        In a situation like this would it be best to use a bunch of  
replace_patterns statements, or is there some other solution that will allow 
the key in the key value pair to contain spaces? 

        I had also considered just creating one master copy of smb.conf for 
each environment and copying it down where appropriate, however I have noticed 
in the past keeping a static copy of smb.conf sometimes creates more problems 
when new features of Samba are released. 

        Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
