-Q: I am running Linux and ngircd dies on startup with the follwing errors:
- IO subsystem: epoll (hint size 100, initial maxfd 100, masterfd -1).
- Cannot initialize IO routines: Function not implemented
- Server isn't listening on a single port!
- ngircd exiting due to fatal errors!
-A: epoll is only supported on 2.6 Linux kernels. Either use a 2.6 kernel, or
- re-run configure with the --without-epoll parameter. After configure
- completed, you should see select() being listed as IO backend:
- '(I/O backend: "select()"').
+Q: I have added an [Oper] section, how do i log on as IRC operator?
+A: You can use the /OPER command in your IRC client to become an IRC operator.
+ ngIRCd will also log all OPER requests (using syslog), if OPER fails you
+ can look there to determine why it did not work (bad password, unauthorized
+ host mask, etc.)
+
+Q: I am an IRC operator, but MODE doesn't work!
+A: You need to set 'OperCanUseMode = yes' in ngircd.conf, then IRC operators
+ can use the MODE command for changing modes even when they are not joined
+ to the specific channel.
