Ah, match replaces the base functionality that "matches the full
line, including whitespace at the beginning and end. If the line is
not contained in the given file, Puppet will add the line to ensure
the desired state."
I thought the match regex would be an _additional_ test, and that
the check for existance of the line would be done nevertheless.
If anybody here has write access to the file_line docs: It would be
nice to note that in the description of "match". For this newbie,
this was not clear.
Thanks for the explanation,
Joachim
