Which is why I wonder why /etc/inittab doesn't just use the 'id' field
instead of assigning a number, or why /etc/hosts d

Brent,
Thanks for the feedback.
It felt like a bit of a hack when I wrote it but it very much follows
the Puppet mentality of idempotency.
I'm just starting to fiddle with Augeas since 90% of my problems fall
into the precise declaration arena.

While this is kind of kludg-y, might you try building the multipart
file with Puppet itself:

It's useful for building files where you have chunked sections and, of
course, you can use templates etc... where necessary.

There are a couple of problems with that. Using last() is a better
method as far as general Augeas technique goes, but it
I think that the heart of the problem is the convention of using "1" as
an Augeas key to mean "add this to the end of the list". As Rob points out,
you don't know how many items are already on the list. If there are less
than 10,000 entries already, you wind up with funky numbering (1, 2, 3,
12 matches
