@unnumbered Workflow
NNCP consists of several utilities. As a rule you will have the
-following workflow with them.

@item Tune it up and set at least @ref{Spool, spool} and log paths.

@item Share your public keys and reachability addressees with your
neighbours. Add their keys to your configuration file and do any other

-freq transmissions.
-@item Use @ref{nncp-file}, @ref{nncp-freq}, @ref{nncp-mail}

@item Depending on connection methods, either:
@itemize
- @item run @ref{nncp-daemon} to accept remotely initiated connections
- to your node
- @item run @ref{nncp-call} to initiate connection to required nodes
- @item use @ref{nncp-xfer} with removable storage devices for copying
- packets for/from other nodes

+@item If you wish to encrypt your configuration file containing your
+private keys, then use @command{@ref{nncp-cfgenc}} utility. You can
+always use an encrypted config without decrypting it in temporary memory file.
+@item If you wish to strip off any private keys from your config, then
+use @command{@ref{nncp-cfgmin}} utility. It will be useful for transferring
+messages with offline methods, but tossing them later on the machine
+with private keys.
