That would work, too; you'll have to make sure to batch related changes together by piping them into stdin of augtool - augtool will refuse to write out files that are syntactically incorrect (e.g. an entry in /etc/hosts with only an ipaddr and no canonical name) Of course, Perl bindings would be much better if somebody wants to write them ;) > I had another question - which configuration file formats does > Augeas support at the moment?

Right now, it's only a handful of files: /etc/aliases, /etc/grub.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/inittab, /etc/pam.d/*, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and the yum config files. The descriptions for them can be found in the source tarball and at [1]. I am working on adding more; this is the area where more help would make a huge difference - writing more schemas to increase Augeas' coverage of common config files. Patches to the mailing list[2] would be hugely appreciated.
