Well if you got this far and still need help, then I think you should
go back and specify 'n' at the question "Do you want to use syslog".
-Use m4 as a preprocessor on CPATH
-M4_PREPROC
- If you use m4 macro's in your "ircd.conf" file, then you need to specify 'y',
- which will enable m4 preprocessing of the "ircd.conf" file.
- If you are unsure specify 'n'. Note using m4 macros has often lead to
- problems (passwords or server names that match a macro name for instance),
- while the benefits of using m4 are highly doubtful. Unless you are
- already a m4 wizard and insist on using it I recommend to specify 'n' here.

-Use crypted passwords for N: lines
-CRYPT_LINK_PASSWORD
- In order to allow other servers to connect to you, you need to specify
- two configuration lines in the "ircd.conf" configuration file (CPATH).
- Each of these lines contains a password; the C: line is used for connecting
- to a remote server and contains the password that is sent to the remote
- server for authentication, thus this password must be in plain text.
- The other is the N: line and contains the password that the remote server
- is sending to you. For security reasons it is advised to store this
- password in DES encrypted form. If you specify 'y' here, you will be
- allowed to use the DES encrypted password in the password field of the
- N: line, see doc/example.conf for more details. Note that you should
- use *different* passwords in the C: and N: lines respectively for obvious
- reasons.

Use crypted passwords for operators
CRYPT_OPER_PASSWORD
In order to allow certain users to become IRC OPERators, they must
hacking. Find an experienced admin with the same Operating System and
ask him what the maximum is and how to achieve it.
-Default client listen port
-PORTNUM
- This is the default listen port. You can specify more listen ports
- in the "ircd.conf" file with 'P: lines'; see doc/example.conf for more
- details on P: lines. Note that /stats p currently only shows P: lines,
- which might be a reason for you to use a less often used value here.
- Note that there is actually no difference between client and server
- listen ports, but it is good practice to separate them for statistical
- purpose (bandwidth usage statistics).

Nickname history length
NICKNAMEHISTORYLENGTH
This value specifies the length of the nick name history list, which
