Actually, I ran into this while testing the integration of the graphical sshd_config editor (based on Config::Model) and Augeas (with the sshd lens) My test case did not provide the directory structure and I expected Augeas to create the missing directories. I considered that it would be a good thing for /etc directories. Obviously I did not think this through. Your arguments convinced me to be more cautious when creating directories.

I'll now have to think what this means for Config::Model... All the best -- Dominique Dumont "Delivering successful solutions requires giving people what they need, not what they want."
