Have you thought about doing this based on Augeas rather than
ParsedFile ? Depending on what exactly you want your type to do, you
might even be able to write it as a ''define'' in puppet, rather
than
having to drop to Ruby. If the logic in your type is complex enough,
though, and you have to write it in Ruby, you can still use Augeas to
access, query and modify the pam entries.
