File_line match

[eliran shlomo]

Hi,
I'm trying to replace line inside a file with file_line.

 file_line { 'password policy change':
    ensure => present,
    path    => '/tmp/test',
    match => 'password.*requisite.*cracklib\.so.*',
    line     => 'password        requisite
  pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=8 difok=5 dcredit=-1 lcredit=-1 ucredit=-1 ocredit=-1'
 }

but it keeping failing
Error: Failed to apply catalog: Validation of File_line[password policy change] failed: When providing a 'match' parameter, the value must be a regex that matches against the value of your 'line' parameter at /etc/puppet/environments/common/pci/manifests/init.pp:20

Please advice.

I tested this and the match is working OK.  What I got from what you posted is the following:

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Validation of File_line[password policy change] failed: When providing a 'match' parameter, the value must be a regex that matches against the value of your 'line' parameter at /etc/puppet/modules/test_module/manifests/init.pp:14
Wrapped exception:

When providing a 'match' parameter, the value must be a regex that matches against the value of your 'line' parameter

Once I took the line break out of the "line  =>" you posted, the change worked fine.

line     => 'password        requisite        pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=8 difok=5 dcredit=-1 lcredit=-1 ucredit=-1 ocredit=-1'

Hi,

 

how about using augeasprovider to manage PAM?
