Otherwise you get something like: [info] /home/irc/unrealircd/conf/unrealircd.conf:166: oper::password: Advice: it is not recommended to use plaintext passwords in the config file. You can replace this password with the following password hash: [info] password "$argon2id$v=19$m=6144,t=2,p=2$fIxnffmGpvcMkXaLcbttfw$b549yTafLVG27K4fPvre2DSacTm/px2hVMdI0KmQqZU"; [error] /home/irc/unrealircd/conf/unrealircd.conf:156: please change the the name and password of the default 'bobsmith' oper block [error] 1 errors encountered Which is a tad confusing, since you shouldn't hash that default dummy password at all :D. Now it is only: [error] /home/syzop/unrealircd/conf/unrealircd.conf:156: please change the the name and password of the default 'bobsmith' oper block [error] 1 errors encountered [skip ci]
