@unnumbered Workflow
NNCP consists of several utilities. As a rule you will have the
-following workflow with them.
+following workflow:
@enumerate
-@item Run @ref{nncp-newnode} 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, allowance of file or
-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 run either @ref{nncp-call} or @ref{nncp-caller} to initiate
+ connection to required nodes from time to time
@item use @ref{nncp-xfer} with removable storage devices for copying
- packets for/from other nodes
+ packets to/from other nodes
+ @item use @ref{nncp-bundle} with either sequential storage devices
+ or broadcasting transmissions for copying packets
@end itemize
@item After successful packet exchanging (or just simply from time to
time), run @ref{nncp-toss} for tossing (decrypting and processing) all
-inbound queues to receive mail messages, files, file requests and relay

+@item If you wish to encrypt your configuration file containing your
+private keys, then use @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 @ref{nncp-cfgmin} utility. It will be useful for transferring
+messages with offline methods, but tossing them later on the machine
+with private keys.
