I usually handle that by distributing custom augeas lenses with puppet and putting them in /usr/share/augeas/lenses/. This isn't actually very hard as most of those lenses are slightly customized versions of lenses bundled with augeas (very often only with adjusted filter to include the file I need to change). That is unless you have a not-yet-supported config file type or a really hard to handle one. Suppose augeas could be a bit more flexible with regards to the file filters, or at least allowing to modify it on runtime :) -- Michael Gliwinski Henderson Group Information Services 9-11 Hightown Avenue, Newtownabby, BT36 4RT Phone: 028 9034 3319 ********************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
