RE: Copy+editfiles

[Martin, Jason H]

In that situation, if someone removes / changes a line from
/usr/local/etc/smb.conf that originated from
/var/cfengine/work/smb.conf, will cfe rebuild /usr/local/etc/smb.conf?
If so, this is the solution I was looking for, as it guarantees the
integrity of /usr/local/etc/smb.conf without making unnecessary changes
to it.

Thank you,
-Jason Martin

Here's how I solved that problem when I was working with smb.conf.
Obviously the copy action is before the editfiles action. And this
method may not work if you need your edits to be nested or in a specific
order.

copy:
  any::
  # Samba configuration
        $(FileSource)/common/usr/local/etc/smb.conf
        dest=/var/cfengine/work/smb.conf
        server=$(FileServer)

editfiles:
  any:: 
        { 
        /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
        AutoCreate
        EmptyEntireFilePlease
        InsertLine "hostname = $(host)"
        InsertFile "/var/cfengine/work/smb.conf"
        DefineClasses "newsamba"
        }
