Q: I cannot connect to remote peers when I use the chroot option, the
following is logged: "Can't resolve example.com: unknown error!".
+A: see next question blow ...

+Q: When running ngIRCd inside a chroot, no IP addresses can be translated
+ in DNS names, errors like "Name or service not known" are logged.
A: On Linux/glibc with chroot enabled you need to put some libraries inside
the chroot as well, notably libnss_dns; maybe others. Unfortunately, even
- linking ngIRCd statically does not help this. The only known workaround
- is to either disable chroot support or to link against dietlibc instead
- of glibc. (tnx to Sebastian Siewior)
+ linking ngIRCd statically does not help this. So you can either copy
+ all the required files into the chroot directory:
+ $ mkdir -p ./chroot/etc ./chroot/lib
+ $ cp -a /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf ./chroot/etc/
+ $ cp -a /lib/libresolv* /lib/libnss_* ./chroot/lib/
+ Or you can try to link ngIRCd against an other C library (like dietlibc)
+ that doesn't depend on NSS modules and/or these files.
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.
can use the MODE command for changing modes even when they are not joined
to the specific channel.
+Q: How can I "auto-op" users in channels?
+A: ngIRCd can't do this: you would have to use some "IRC Services", like
+ Atheme (<http://atheme.net/atheme.html>) or Anope (<http://www.anope.org>).
+ See "doc/Services.txt" for setup instructions.
