Comment (by domcleal):

 Thanks for the report and files, it is indeed very useful.

 /etc/exports appears to be in a very different format to Linux and Solaris
 style exports files, I'm not sure if we can or should make the same lens
 handle both.  Thoughts anybody?
 [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=exports&sektion=5 FreeBSD
 exports(5)].

 /etc/host.conf appears to be in a different format to Linux again.  I
 can't find a man page at the moment, only a reference here pointing out
 it's different: [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook
 /linuxemu-lbc-install.html#AEN15028 11.2.4 Configuring the Hostname
 Resolver]

 /etc/hosts.allow has a number of issues, doesn't permit whitespace in
 lists, doesn't support IPv6, doesn't support network/netmask notation and
 is struggling with the shell commands in your example file.  I'll open
 another ticket to track all of these bits.

 /etc/rc.conf looks like a third party lens that isn't included in Augeas.
 Do you know where it came from?  We could include and fix it if it's
 licensed appropriately.
