107 Available values are:

124 4 READ - connection will be visible.
125 2 WRITE - connection can be closed/modified
126 1 EXECUTE - user allowed to execute requests.

133 Specifying 0750 as the argument to the

136 This would allow the group to perform

140 When a server is not explicitly specified,
141 ncp* programs try to find a suitable connection in the following order:
142 .Bl -enum -offset indent
144 Try to find a connection owned by the user.
145 If there is more than one such
146 connection, try to determine which one is primary.

172 Newly created connections take the

188 Specify the number of retries to be performed
