At first glance, for a general-purpose utility that seems fine. However, as vblade is a very specialized system utility and, since it requires opening of a raw socket, it's going to need root privileges at some point in time. That being said, I can't forsee more than one user running vblade at a time on a given machine: either it's run as root or run as a service account, both of which would (presumably) require administrator access to a machine. I think one config file should be sufficient; shelf/slot-specific config stanzas in /etc/vblade.conf can be separated using syntax, or, if individual files are deemed necessary they should probably be in /etc/vblade.d/ or something, instead of a user's home directory. ~/.*rc files are usually specified for interactive utilities rather than system daemons.
