I should have looked at the way /etc/exports is mapped before my last reply - because there, the entries aren't really numbered. In the tree you just have a list of 'dir' nodes underneath /files/etc/exports - the notation dir[1], dir[2], ... is only used to disambiguate those nodes, but the '[1]' etc. are not really part of the node name, and you can indeed force a new one to be created by saying set /files/etc/exports/dir[last() + 1] /myexport set /files/etc/exports/dir[last()]/client 192.168.0.0/24 .... Note that the first 'set' creates a new 'dir' node (since there can never be a node with index last() + 1), but once that node is created it's referenced as dir[last()] David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
