1.1 ! tomglok 1: #
! 2: # This is a sample configuration file for the ngIRCd IRC daemon, which must

! 5: # Comments are started with "#" or ";".

! 7: # A lot of configuration options in this file start with a ";". You have
! 8: # to remove the ";" in front of each variable to actually set a value!
! 9: # The disabled variables are shown with example values for completeness only
! 10: # and the daemon is using compiled-in default settings.
