Hi, validate is for basically running things like visudo against a sudoers file before finally copying it in place over the file. This wouldn't be a good fit here.
It seems that what you would want to do, instead, is adapt your fileglob to only accept those files, or instead, name those files explicitly. Sort of make sense? Thanks!
