Puppet users - Aug 2012 - using puppet augeas to add entry in /etc/syslog.conf

Hi , 
I"m trying to add a entry in /etc/syslog.conf  using puppet augeas like 
this  "  *.warning;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                
@syslog_host" , 

seems the way to do this with augeas is : 

           augeas { "syslog_conf":
                lens    => "syslog.lns",
                incl => "/etc/syslog.conf",
                changes => [
                    "ins entry after entry[last()]",
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[1]/facility
''*''",
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[1]/level warning",
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[2]/facility mail",
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[2]/level 
none",                    
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[3]/facility authpriv",
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[3]/level none",   
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[4]/facility cron",
                    "set entry[last()]/selector[4]/level none",   
                    "set entry[last()]/action/hostname syslog_host",
                ],
                onlyif => "match entry[hostname =
''syslog_host''] size == 0",
            }

which is a lot of entries just for one line of  config file,  also augeas 
has some problem on Solaris 10 to parse /etc/syslog.conf , 

it there a better way ?   I know could use file server or template, but
I''m
just trying to  add an entry to the existing syslog.conf file, rather than 
store them in puppet master.   
there''s a  puppet module at https://github.com/mstrauss/puppet-editfile
,
which I haven''t tried yet.   

Is there a plan to add "editfile" feature to puppet , this is becoming
rather frustrating . 

Thanks.

Hi , 
Any suggestions ?   I may end up using a script to do this. 

Thanks.

I found a nice module on the puppet forge to do sysctl entries on
RedHatish systems.
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/fiddyspence/sysctl
I worked wonderfully for what I needed.
It sets the sysctl settings and optionally maked them permanent by
adding an entry to /etc/sysctl.conf
The best thing is if the value is set it doesn''t try to set it again.

If you know some ruby coding you could make a type and provider using
either parsedfile or augeas like the augeasproviders:
https://github.com/domcleal/augeasproviders

You could possibly also use the file_line type from puppetlabs-stdlib.
