Create empty FRR configuration files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Although not strictly necessary, it's good practice to create empty
configuration files _before_ starting FRR. This assures that the permissions
are correct. If the files are not already present, FRR will create them.
It's also important to consider _which_ files to create. FRR supports writing
configuration to a monolithic file, ``/etc/frr/frr.conf``, which is not
recommended, according to the
`user guide <http://frrouting.readthedocs.io/en/latest/vtysh.html>`.
The presence of ``/etc/frr/frr.conf`` on startup implicitly configures FRR to
ignore daemon-specific configuration files.
