edit aix stanza files

[christia...@itsv.at]

hi all,

any way to edit so called "stanza files" in aix? i read about the blockinfile module but this seems not to be the best way to do it, since it depends on markers which will break aix configs.

example of such stanza files:

srvproxy:
        admin = false
        umask = 2
        login = false
        rlogin = false

usw:
        shells = /bin/sh,/bin/bsh,/bin/csh,/bin/ksh,/bin/tsh,/bin/ksh93,/usr/bin/sh,/usr/bin/bsh,/usr/bin/csh,/usr/bin/ksh,/usr/bin/tsh,/usr/bin/ksh93,/usr/bin/rksh,/usr/bin/rksh93,/usr/sbin/uucp/uucico,/usr/sbin/sliplogin,/usr/sbin/snappd,/bin/false,/usr/bin/bash
        maxlogins = 32767
        logintimeout = 60
        auth_type = STD_AUTH
        pwd_algorithm = sshaitsv

for example i want to adress the "srcproxy:" and add or delete "pwd_algorithm = sshaitsv", or add new items "somestanza:". any ideas?

you can try lineinfile or use j2 templates

hmm...tried out lineinfile, replace and template but was not successfull? any other creative ideas? i looked at the ini_file module source, and it seems this is very similar to the aix stanza format. unfortunately i am at war with regex, and this particular code is full of it.
