    23     This directory should contain a file  for each interface to be
    24     configured, such as <filename>interface.xyz</filename>, where
    25     <quote>xyz</quote> is a network interface name. Inside this file we
    26     would be defining the attributes to this interface, such as its IP
    27     address(es), subnet masks, and so forth.</para>
