Bug Description
The configuration file /etc/eucalyptus
For example, let's say a system administrator is configuring a machine running only the Walrus service, to be registered with a CLC running on another machine. Is it relevant for him to define VNET_PRIVINTERFACE directive and, if so, what value should he use? And so on for pretty much all directives.
At the very least, a eucalyptus.conf man page explaining in which context each directive are relevant would desirable. Better yet would be to break eucalyptus.conf in service-specific configuration file that could be documented separately, either inline or in a man page.
