You can't edit the file directly, even with a script, but you can script
cibadmin to replace pieces of XML in the CIB for you. For example, to
manually edit a group's XML, try:
# cibadmin --query --xpath "//gro...@id='WHATEVER']" > group.xml
# vim group.xml
(add whatever primitives...)
# cibadmin --replace --xml-file group.xml
You can use pipes and things instead of writing to temporary files
and manually running vim, of course. See "cibadmin --help" for more
options.
