+Q: Where is the log file located?
+A: ngIRCd does not write its own log file. Instead, ngIRCd uses
+   syslog(3). Check the files in /var/log/ and/or consult the
+   documentation for your system logger daemon.

    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)

-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 to enable MODE for IRC
+   operators.
