search for: replace_line

i was looking at the simple text recipes wiki: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/SimpleTextRecipes and based on that wrote something that can ensure a certain variable in a config file is set to a specific value, using a specific delimiter as requested (defaults to a space). this seems to work great at managing all sorts of unix and mac config files (sshd_config, hostconfig on macs).

...oming back to my ssh key problem, I tried including statements at the beginning of the class file outside the class definition for the service that removes the keys if the class is not assigned: $key = ''big long ssh key'' case tagged("sshkey_service"){ false: { replace_line { rmkey: file => ''authorized_keys", search => $key, replace => "" } <other stuff related to the service> } } class sshkey_service { append_if_no_such_line { mkkey: file => "authorized_keys",...

I''m, still, working on converting my cfengine configs into puppet; one of the major hang-ups is the lack of any find/replace in puppet. So for those of you who are using FreeBSD and puppet, how do you manage you rc.conf? -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--

hello, i wondered if it would not be interesting to have some filters function in puppet like filter_integer(), filter_prelregex, filter_text, filter_email or such so we can validate and make our defines a little more foolproof :) i particulary see filter_regex as usefull in quite a lot of exec that manipulates text files. What do you think about this ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain
