Johan,
it seems like you should add policy => overridable to the relevant
variable in the append_user_field bundle.
On the other hand, it seems like it worth of trying a different approach:
vars:
"grp[unix]" string => "unix:!:1000:";
"grp[dba]" string => "dba:!:1001:";
"grp[support]" string => "support:!:1002:";
"lst[unix]" slist => { "a", "b", "c", "d" };
"lst[dba]" slist => { "e", "f", "g" };
"lst[support]" slist => { "h", "i", "j" };
"groups" slist => getindices("grp");
files:
aix::
"/etc/group"
perms => mog("644", "root", "security"),
create => "true",
edit_line => append_groups("$(grp[$(groups)])", "$(lst[$(groups)])");
with the relevant edit_line bundle like the following example:
bundle edit_line append_groups(grp, list)
{
vars:
"line" string => join(",", @(list));
classes:
"add_line" not => regline("$(grp).*", "$(edit.filename)");
insert_lines:
add_line::
"$(grp)$(line)";
}
Of course, this is subject to check since I'm writing strictly theoretically )
