The following example shows the basic structure and contents of a configuration file
for a computer with the following configuration:
 An administrator user named “Administrator” (short name “admin”) with a user ID of
501 and the password “secret”
 A computer name and host name of “server1.example.com”
 A single Ethernet network interface set to get its address from DHCP
 No server services set to start automatically
Note: Angle brackets used in XML format do not have the same usage as angle
brackets used in Mac OS X Server commands.
