I'm trying to remove a specific configuration value, "minimum_uid=1000", 
from multiple lines in several files (currently 5 files) in /etc/pam.d/.
A typical line looks like this:
auth     [success=1 default=ignore]      pam_ldap.so use_first_pass 
minimum_uid=1000

I've tried exec and sed, but I couldn't figure out the necessary escaping 
to get the filename variable to parse (here I test with 'abc'):
define removeMinimumUID(){
    exec { '${filename}':
      command => "/usr/bin/sed -i \'s|abc|cab|g\' ${filename}",
      onlyif => '/usr/bin/test -e ${filename}',
      refresh => '/usr/bin/true',
      provider => 'posix',
      logoutput => on_failure,
    }
}

RemoveMinimumUID { "/mnt/NY_Interactive/dev/peter/puppet/abc.txt": }

Error:
Executing: '/usr/bin/sed -i 's|abc|cab|g' '^[[0m
^[[mNotice: 
/Stage[main]/Main/Removeminimumuid[/mnt/NY_Interactive/dev/peter/puppet/abc.txt]/Exec[${filename}]/returns:
 
/usr/bin/sed: no input files^[[0m

If I substitute the fully qualified filename with the filename variable on 
the 'commmand' parameter line, the script runs fine.



Then I tried stdlibs' file_line but I couldn't figure out how to replace a 
substring without identifying the entire replacement string:


file { '/home/peter/dev/puppet/abc.txt':
  ensure => present,
}->
file_line { 'Append a line to /home/peter/dev/puppet/abc.txt':
  path => '/home/peter/dev/puppet/abc.txt',
  line => 'cab',
  multiple => true,
  match   => "abc$",
}


I'm currently looking at augeas but no luck yet.

Suggestions?
thx...
