What's the best way to use cfengine to manage /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow? Managing the entire file as a copy would be easy enough, but how can you just manage a chunk of it? Using edifiles to control a block would have the desired result, except that AFAIK you can't have comment lines in those files (the ### BEGIN and ### END lines I use to manage blocks in other config files). Also, I wouldn't want my shadow passwords to be copied everywhere in the config. I suppose I could use two bogus usernames to define my block and use some of the *File* editfile commands in conjunction with a copy, but that just seems like a hack. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
