At the moment Neutron (it is getting hard to get used to) does not have 
sample configuration file(s). The convention that we use is to try and 
have the default value of the variable in the configuration file 
commented out so that the user can update if they choose.

In addition to this there are a number of different configuration files, 
for example - dhcp-agent.ini, l3-agent.ini etc. It may be a bit tricky 
generating sample configuration files for all of these.

Thanks
