--------------------------------------
Configuration files follow a strict naming convention that allows them to be
-processed in a specific order. All the .conf files are named ``NN_name.conf``,
-where NN is a decimal number. The files are processed in order from 00_name.conf
-to 99_name.conf so that if the name setting is given in both a lower and higher
-numbered conf file then the higher numbered file is the effective setting as it
-is processed after the setting in the lower numbered file.

the other configuration files and does not have to follow the naming
