Subject: Re: regexp parameter quoting

OK, so I quoted BOTH parameters...
"/etc/passwd"
handle => "etc_passwd",
comment => "Set compat mode in passwd",
edit_line => fix_line("^\+::::::.*", "\+::::::/bin/bash"); # +
quoted to prevent mis-interpretation in regexp's
and I do not get the error.
Unfortunately, I now get he '\' appearing in the /etc/passwd file, sigh.
So I'm fundamentally misunderstanding quoting in cfengine.
Can anyone help on this?
Thanks.
