Filters and editfiles:

[Barry_W_Anderson]

It seems like a really useful way of using filters would be passing a directory
to editfiles and letting a filter return which files to use. It doesn't (seem
to) work. It could be my limited understanding, which is why I'm not sending
this straight to bugs-cfengine. But should the following work? It doesn't use
the filter AT ALL (as far as I can tell) on either Linux 2.2.16 or Solaris.

cheers,
Barry

#!/usr/local/sbin/cfengine -f

control:

any::
   actionsequence = ( editfiles )

filters:

   { disable_init_scripts
      NameRegex:
"(asppp)|(autofs)|(autoinstall)|(buttons_n_dials_setup)|(dtlogin)|(init.dmi)|(init.snmpdx)"

      Result: "NameRegex"
   }

editfiles:

   { /etc/inetd.conf

      HashCommentLinesMatching "^[^#].*"
   }

   { /etc/rc.d

      Filter disable_init_scripts

      LocateLineMatching "^[^#].*"
      BeginGroupIfNoLineContaining "### disabled for added security ..."

         InsertLine ""
         InsertLine "### --------------------------------------------"
         InsertLine "### disabled for added security ... nconbwa"
         InsertLine "exit 0"
         InsertLine "### --------------------------------------------"

      EndGroup
   }
