[Spacewalk-list] config management trouble once again

[Wojtak, Greg (Superfly)]

This might be related to the fact that if you don't add an extra empty
line at the end of a configuration file (when inputted into the web UI
text field of the create a file form), the file ends without a line break.
 Try cat /etc/sudoers on a newly deployed sudoers file and you'll see what
I mean; the next command prompt will appear immediately after the final
character of the sudoers file rather than there being a newline first.
