AWK or SED to add string at specific position
Greetings.
I don't have experience programing scripts. I need to
insert a string in a specific position of another string on another file (last.cfg), for example:
File
last.cfg before using script:
login_interval=1800
lcs.machinename=client04
File
last.cfg after using script:
login_interval=1800
lcs.machinename=newclient04
I read about awk and sed comands, by I'm not sure what use and how.
Please, I'll thank so much if someone may help me or tell me if this problem has been solve on another post.

hobbit-nkview.cfg
HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5) File Formats Manual HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)
NAME
hobbit-nkview.cfg - Configuration of the hobbitgraph CGI
SYNOPSIS
$BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg
DESCRIPTION
hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) uses the configuration file $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg to determine which of the statuses currently in a red or
yellow state should appear on the Critical Systems view.
This file should not be edited manually. It is maintained by the hobbit-nkeedit.cgi(1) utility via a web-based frontend.
FILE PERMISSIONS
Since the file is maintained by a web front-end tool, the userid running Web CGI scripts must have write-permission to the file. Typi-
cally, this means it must have a group-ownership matching your webserver userid, and group-write permissions (mode 664).
When editing the file with the web front-end, a backup file is created. Therefore the hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak file should have identical
permissions.
