I am using the sample config file, and ngircd reads it. But it acts wierd when I access the Server. Here is the output of ngircd- --configtest: [GLOBAL] ServerName = irc.the.net ServerInfo = Server Info Text Password = AdminInfo1 = AdminInfo2 = AdminEMail = MotdFile = /usr/local/etc/ngircd.motd Ports = 6667 Listen = ServerUID = root ServerGID = wheel PingTimeout = 120 PongTimeout = 20 ConnectRetry = 60 OperCanUseMode = no MaxConnections = 1024 MaxConnectionsIP = 5 MaxJoins = 10 The Admin and Password firlds are filled in in the conf file. Anyone know what I did wrong? Andrew
