Does Linux use a /etc/inet/netmasks file?

I believe the netmasks in linux are set in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts , on a per interface bases.
Where Solaris uses /etc/netmasks to over ride or set the expected netmask, this can be done with the netmask directive in the ifcfg-ethX script.

LinuxJournal has an article on the topic, if that helps.
