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" } _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
