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

@enumerate
-@item Run @ref{nncp-newnode} on each node to create an initial

+@item Run @command{@ref{nncp-cfgnew}} on each node to create an initial
@ref{Configuration, configuration} file.
+
@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
required configuration about their reachability, permissions of file or
freq transmission.
-@item Use @ref{nncp-file}, @ref{nncp-freq}, @ref{nncp-mail}
-(@ref{Postfix, look how} Postfix SMTP server could be configured for its
-usage) commands to queue file, freq and mail transmissions. Repeat as
-many times any time as you wish.

+@item Use @command{@ref{nncp-file}}, @command{@ref{nncp-freq}},
+@command{@ref{nncp-exec}} (look @ref{Postfix, how} Postfix and
+@ref{Exim, how} Exim SMTP servers could be configured) commands to queue
+file, freq and exec transmissions. Repeat as many times any time as you
+wish.

@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.
