Is it possible to manage sets of darknet nodes through ssh? 

That is, can I directly edit the ~/freenet/peers-* and 
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-*/0 files, rather than adding and removing peers 
through FProxy's dialogs? Am I correct that the freenet daemon reads those 
files when starting, and then updates them while running and/or when stopping?
Working with a small darknet, I see that most of the lines for a particular 
peer are the same in ~/freenet/peers-* files for all nodes. Some are always 
different in different nodes, but they seem to be just historical data:

totalInput
totalOutput
metadata.hadRoutableConnectionCount
metadata.peersLocation
metadata.routableConnectionCheckCount
metadata.timeLastConnected
metadata.timeLastReceivedAck
metadata.timeLastReceivedPacket
metadata.timeLastRoutable

Can I just not include them, when configuring new nodes to peer with other 
nodes in my darknet? Or should I set default initial values?

Although the values for "full.sigP256", "full.ark.number", and 
"full.physical.udp" for a particular peer are not the same in ~/freenet/peers-* 
files in all nodes, they do appear in multiple nodes. Can I use one valid set 
of those values when configuring new nodes?

For a particular peer, there is also variability among nodes in the first line 
of the "0" files in 
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-12345/eb.......................................Mc/. 
For example, in some nodes I see:

$ cat 
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-12345/eb.......................................Mc/0
   Ozj....................Mc/0
   peerNoteType=1
   privateDarknetComment=Q2........................................Fh
   extraPeerDataType=2
   End

But in others, I see:

$ cat 
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-54321/eb.......................................Mc/0
   zj....................Mc/0
   peerNoteType=1
   privateDarknetComment=Q2........................................Fh
   extraPeerDataType=2
   End

Can I just use one of those values ("Ozj..." or "zj...") when configuring new 
nodes?
