53 command is used to create a permanent connection to a
56 Permanent connections will stay connected even if no applications use them.
57 This allows users to run different ncp* programs
58 without specifying a file server and user to use.
59 Established connections can be destroyed with the

126 4 READ - connection will be visible.
127 2 WRITE - connection can be closed/modified
128 1 EXECUTE - user allowed to execute requests.

135 Specifying 0750 as the argument to the

138 This would allow the group to perform

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

174 Newly created connections take the

191 Specify the number of retries to be performed
