Just for the info, I've gotten the answer at why lines like these error: set *[module = 'pam_mkhomedir.so']/type session
or a similar example for /etc/hosts: set /files/etc/hosts/*/ipaddr[.='10.1.1.1'] 10.1.1.1 To quote from the augeas-devel list: "The issue is where there is no node matching /files/etc/hosts/*/ipaddr[.='10.1.1.1'], Augeas tries to create one, but it doesn't know what to use for '*'." To handle the cases where you don't know if a line containing an IP address exists or not, you need to use two Augeas types; one to fix an existing entry and one to add an entry if it doesn't exist. There's a feature request to support conditionals in the Augeas type here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2696 On Oct 5, 12:21 pm, "luke.bigum" <luke.bi...@fasthosts.co.uk> wrote: > Tim, > > Thanks a lot, I never would have thought of trying to cludge Augeas > like that.
