Problems getting callouts to work

Hello!
I noticed that I must have been reading an older version of the spec.
I checkout out the new version, which says:
Callouts are programs invoked when the device object list is
modified. As such, callouts can be used to maintain system-wide
policy (that may be specific to the particular OS) such as
changing permissions on device nodes, updating the system wide
/etc/fstab file or configuring the networking subsystem.
There are three different classes of callouts. A callout
involves sequentially invoking all executable programs in the
string list in listed order.
I understand what a callout is, and that all executable programs in the
string list info.callouts.* will be executed...
But the doc does not say WHERE this list is and how to add callouts to
the list.
If somebody could tell me this, I would be very grateful.
Thank you!
David
