Ok thanks to R33D33R - Encrypted passwords were the problem. F:CRYPT_OPER_PASSWORD:FALSE
This fixed the problem. I had left the original set of F:lines as default (all commented, so all were set at their defaults). I presume encrypted passwords is the default setting. I generated my encrypted password per these instructions: [09:13] <[reed]> oke [09:13] <[reed]> cd ircu2.10/tools [09:13] <[reed]> make -f Makefile.crypt [09:13] <[reed]> ./mkpasswd [09:13] <[reed]> crypt it :) This didnt work, obviously. A bug in rc1 or is there something else wrong with the way I did this? (Ive since changed the O: masks to be specific to my user@host and they still work.)
