Yes, that's true, but i'm also want to use it if some fucked something and
then copy is probably the best option.
For example:
{ /etc/pam.d/login
AppendIfNoSuchLine "password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=8
difok=4"
}
And someone who isn't that smart, put the following in /etc/pam.d/login:
password required pam_cracklib.so retry=30 minlen=3 difok=4"
Now my 'AppendIfNoSuchLine' wil not match and i have 2 line's for the same
configuration option. In cases like this, copy is the best thing i
think...
