NNCP uses following files/directories you should be aware of:
It can contain @file{.nock} files: fully downloaded, but still not
checksummed. Can be checksummed (with @file{.nock} extension removing)
- with @command{nncp-check -nock}.
+ with @command{@ref{nncp-check} -nock}.
- Also it can contain @file{.seen} files, that should be cleaned too
- from time to time.
+ Also it can contain @file{seen/} and @file{hdr/} subdirectories,
+ that should be cleaned too from time to time.
- All of that cleaning tasks can be done with @ref{nncp-rm} utility.

If you want to share single spool directory with multiple grouped
Unix users, then you can @command{setgid} it and assure that umask
@ref{Log} file, for example @file{/var/spool/nncp/log}. It should be
rotated. Choose you own preferable way to do it.
