first whack at that -- this can be installed in any
or all of the /etc/network/*.d directories...


#!/bin/sh

# let users in the netdev group run their own actions
# by putting a file in $HOME/.network/*.d

for user in `getent group netdev | cut -d : -f 4 | tr ',' "\n"`; do
    home=`getent passwd $user | cut -d : -f 6`

    # make the directory names match the ones in /etc/network
    case $PHASE in
        pre-down)
            script_dir=if-down.d
        ;;
        post-up)
            script_dir=if-up.d
        ;;

        *)
            script_dir=if-$PHASE.d
    esac

    if [ -d "$home/.network/$script_dir" ]; then
        su $user -c "/bin/run-parts $home/.network/$script_dir"
    fi
done
