Hi Chris,

The "requiretty" tree node can also be created with an explicitly null 
value:

augtool> clear /files/etc/sudoers/Defaults[type=':nrpe']/requiretty/negate

At the moment Augeas doesn't treat an empty string and a null value any 
differently, though it's probably a good idea if you try to keep them 
separate.

This "clear" command should be able to be used directly in your Puppet 
manifest.
