Hello,

I’m experiencing with NixOS and would like to know what would be the nicest way to add a specific line to a system file.

As an example, how would you configure NixOS so the line
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
is added to the /etc/pam.d/doas file? As a bonus, it would be nice to know how to change an option (and not add an entire line) to a system file for which there is no NixOS default extraConfig/extraRules support for.

This would allow me to add this line or not depending on the machine NixOS will be installed on.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Thanks very much. That’s exactly what I needed. I’m still not used to the diversity of NixOS documentation and was not aware of this one.

      Just realized that I had this line in my config already but the change was not applied until I reboot. 😳
