Uncomment XML block using sed
Hi All,

I need to umcomment an XML block (if it's not already uncommented) in a shell script. There are several commented blocks in the file that need to remain commented out. The challenging part for me is that I need to match a comment on one line and an XML tag on the following line. Also, being that the port or the max thread count may vary, I would like to preserve the line as is rather than hard code the replacement line in the script if possible. Any suggestions?

Here's the block:
Code:
<!--
<Connector port="8443" maxThreads="200"
  keystoreFile="xxx/.../server.jks"
  keystorePass="importkey"
  clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/>
-->

Thanks in advance!

yppasswdd

yppasswdd(4)							   File Formats 						      yppasswdd(4)

NAME

       yppasswdd - configuration file for rpc.yppasswdd (NIS password daemon)

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/yppasswdd

DESCRIPTION

       The yppasswdd file contains a parameter that modifies the behavior of the rpc.yppasswdd(1M) daemon.

       The yppasswdd file contains a single parameter:

       #check_restricted_shell_name=1

       By  default in the current release, this line in yppasswdd is commented	out. If you uncomment the line, when a user attempts to change his
       default shell using `passwd -r nis -e` (see passwd(1)),	the rpc.yppasswdd daemon checks whether the  name  of  the  user's  current  shell
       begins  with  an  'r'.  rpc.yppasswdd considers any  shell whose name begins with an 'r' (for example, rcsh) to be a restricted shell. If a
       user's shell does begin with 'r', his attempt to change from the default shell will fail.

       If the line in the yppasswdd file is commented out (the default), the rpc.yppasswdd daemon does not perform the restricted shell check.

       The yppasswdd file is editable only by root or a member of the sys group.
