Next fun topic for today: our security folks want to change all the 
/sbin/nologin and related shells to /dev/null. Augeas seems the perfect 
tool for this, but I'm having a devil of a time getting close to something 
that'll work:

augeas { 'fix-bad-passwd-shells':
    context => "/files/etc/passwd",
    changes => "set */shell[.='/sbin/nologin'] /dev/null",
    onlyif => "match */shell[.='/sbin/nologin'] size > 0",
}

I really wanted my onlyif to look more like:

    onlyif => "match */shell includes nologin"

to catch other variations (like /usr/sbin/nologin), but that didn't work at 
all. Is there a way to make that work?

And this match works in augtool and when I run puppet, but the "set" 
doesn't. It just doesn't do anything. I think I'm close -- any augeas 
experts care to show me the error of my ways? This really feels like black 
magic.
