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
