@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ A: Yes. ngIRCd is compatible to the original ircd used by IRCNet. Actually

+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.
+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: 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)
+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.
