The node name is not used, the FQDN is. The per-host directories
should be named "host-FQDN-of-node". For example, if your managed
node's FQDN is "lucid32.example.com", then this path to the file
source you want to manage in your cookbook would be:

cookbooks/redacted/files/host-lucid32.example.com/inetfilter
