+ Since a user can be 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.
