<para>

Since a user can be specified both by username as well as one or

more usergroups, it is possible that several configuration lines

enable that user to create network interfaces. In such cases, any

interfaces create are counted towards the quotas of the user or group

in the order in which they appear in the file. If the quota of one

line is full, the rest will be parsed until one is found or the end of

the file.
