Re: augeas syntax for adding similar lines to hosts.allow

[Nathan Huff]

You are going to probably need something along the lines of

context => '/files/etc/hosts.allow'

changes => [

  'ins 01 after *[last()]',

  'set 01/process[1] ssh',

  'set 01/process[2] ssh2',

  'set 01/client ipaddr'

]

onlyif => 'match *[process[1] == 'ssh' and 'client' == 'ipaddr'] size == 0'

you might need to tweak it a little I didn't try it verbatim, but it should get you on the right track.

I've found a similar thread here, but it doesn't do quite what I need.

I have multiple lines of the form below in hosts.allow:

sshd,sshd2: 1.1.1.1

sshd,sshd2: 2.2.2.2

etc.

I'm struggling with the syntax to add yet another "sshd,sshd2: client" line to hosts.allow.

augtool is treating the lines as follows

augtool> ls /files/etc/hosts.allow/*[last()]

process[1] = sshd

process[2] = sshd2

client = 3.3.3.3

I need to add another line when the processes already exist, but the client is new.

Any suggestions?
