5 NNCP consists of several utilities. As a rule you will have the
10 @item Run @command{@ref{nncp-cfgnew}} on each node to create an initial
11 @ref{Configuration, configuration} file.
13 @item Tune it up and set at least @ref{Spool, spool} and log paths.
15 @item Share your public keys and reachability addressees with your
16 neighbours. Add their keys to your configuration file and do any other
17 required configuration about their reachability, permissions of file or
20 @item Use @command{@ref{nncp-file}}, @command{@ref{nncp-freq}},
21 @command{@ref{nncp-exec}} (look @ref{Postfix, how} Postfix and
22 @ref{Exim, how} Exim SMTP servers could be configured) commands to queue
23 file, freq and exec transmissions. Repeat as many times any time as you
26 @item Depending on connection methods, either:
28 @item run @command{@ref{nncp-daemon}} to accept remotely initiated
29 connections to your node
30 @item run either @command{@ref{nncp-call}} or
31 @command{@ref{nncp-caller}} to initiate connection to required nodes
33 @item use @command{@ref{nncp-xfer}} with removable storage devices
34 for copying packets to/from other nodes
35 @item use @command{@ref{nncp-bundle}} with either sequential storage
36 devices or broadcasting transmissions for copying packets
39 @item After successful packet exchanging (or just simply from time to
40 time), run @command{@ref{nncp-toss}} for tossing (decrypting and
41 processing) all inbound queues to receive exec messages, files, file
42 requests and relay transition packets to other nodes.
44 @item Optionally do not forget about explicit receipt acknowledgement
45 ability with @command{@ref{nncp-ack}}.
50 @item If you wish to encrypt your configuration file containing your
51 private keys, then use @command{@ref{nncp-cfgenc}} utility. You can
52 always use an encrypted config without decrypting it in temporary memory file.
53 @item If you wish to strip off any private keys from your config, then
54 use @command{@ref{nncp-cfgmin}} utility. It will be useful for transferring
55 messages with offline methods, but tossing them later on the machine
