I'm no expert, but I've messed with Augeas a bit and you can make it harder
than it needs to be without even trying. I haven't done anything in
`/etc/services`, but I had a similar issue with `sudoers`. A trick to keep in
mind is that if you set something on a path that doesn't exist, Augeas will
create it. So, if you can find something that makes an item unique, you can use
that to specify a path. In this case, the port number will probably work.
augeas { 'app_tcp':
context => '/files/etc/services',
changes => [
"set /files/etc/services/service-name[port = '1002']/port 1002"
"set /files/etc/services/service-name[port = '1002'] app_tcp"
"set /files/etc/services/service-name[port = '1002']/protocol tcp"
"set /files/etc/services/service-name[port = '1002']/#comment foo"
],
}
This should create the line in `/etc/services` if it doesn't exist, but if it
does exist and nothing has changed, Puppet won't do anything to the line (which
is generally what you want). Setting the “name” doesn't seem to work until
after the thing exists, which is why it appears second on the list.

It's not that I think guns, drugs, prostitution, swimming, eating and reading
should be legal. It's just that no one on Earth has the authority to make them
illegal.
