Hello I am trying to create a control.ctl file for my groups so they
get propagated but have some questions.
is there a good document that explains where to put the private key?
does inn needs to know about it? I see people put the public key on the
their web that part is clear but not anything about the private key etc.
Also I have the ftp site but to who do I sent this information to they
include it?

Also trying to replicate what I saw from others on the main control.ctl
file on /etc/inn/control.ctl
let me know if I should change something.

Where it is protected as well as possible against loss, but is available
for signing your control messages.

No.
