+# A lot of configuration options in this file start with a ";". You have
+# to remove the ";" in front of each variable to actually set a value!
+# The disabled variables are shown with example values for completeness only
+# and the daemon is using compiled-in default settings.
+#
+# Use "ngircd --configtest" (see manual page ngircd(8)) to validate that the
+# server interprets the configuration file as expected!

+# Please see ngircd.conf(5) for a complete list of configuration options.
