Hi Dhaval,

Can you use the file_line type in puppet stdlib? https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/file_line.rb

Cheers,

Hi Dhaval,

 This is not what you asked for exactly but might do the job, it allows you to 

build up a k5login from a  collection of distinct places in your manifests.

 We manage k5login now with file snippets (bits) from a custom define, 

 e.g  the following works for us:

  kerberos::k5enty{'steve':}

  kerberos::k5entry{['ralph','john']:}

The definition is here http://pastie.org/4047068 and the trivial template

here, http://pastie.org/4047074/

Can you use the file_line type in puppet stdlib? https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/file_line.rb

Using the file_line type makes sense  for this file format, I will probably switch to it.
