Mainly my problems are related to the configuration of operators.  Each time 
I connect, using any nickname, the server will place me as the operator, 
maybe because I'm connecting locally as I configuired in the ircd.conf file. 
The thing is that in that file I configured that I had to use a specific 
username for admin purposes, but if I connect to the server and try a command 
I get a message saying that I'm not the server operator.

Another problem that I have is that I have to place a encrypted password in 
the config.. How can I do to encrypt my password?

I have installed Linuxconf so configuration should be easier now.  I'll post 
again if I find some more problems and I can't solve them on my own.

Thanks a lot for your help

Ronald
