That''s weird, maybe I ran into something else or just flat out got
distracted/pulled in another direction.

I was thinking it might be useful for this type to have both a
parsedfile and augeas provider. What do you guys think?

And yes I do usually use definitions for stuff like this, but I just
feel like puppet should have some security types, and IIRC the solaris
ones don''t differ much from the linux ones so it''s partly a
unix-agnostic type.

Anybody else have more input on that last statement?
