First up, I use Charybdis, I know it's not very popular but I wanted
to use atheme-services aswell and was told they work best together.
The server itself has been running for 2 months or so but I've always
had trouble using "/oper". Note, it's not publicly advertised or
anything so doesn't have strangers wandering in or anything, I'm just
doing it as a hobby.

Anyways, I fixed it once and then must have changed something
afterwards because when I rebooted in the last week I haven't been
able to oper since.

I have two questions (afaik most ircd configs are basically the same
so hopefully someone will know)

* There's the {auth} block for oper class and a separate {operator}
block for the admin privset. If I'm sole operator should I keep these
basically the same? What are the differences? I'm guessing the
operator block is head IRC/founder or whatever and the oper blocks are
for adding extra irc staff?

* Whenever I /oper it says "no block for your hostname". I've tried
connecting from a ZNC server (located on same host as the irc server)
and from my own home connection, changing the host both times and it
doesn't seem to recognise either.
>user = "irc-server-throwaway@127.0.0.1";
* Am I missing something in this syntax? Secondly, if I'm using a
vhost should I use the vhost instead?

Thanks in advance for any help.
