Re: nick reserved/remembered by server...timeout?

Hi Toni.  Thanks for your input.  In my experience you can't use the KILL 
command unless you have silcoper (router operator) privileges, which you 
can only get as a router operator.  Since my server is standalone, I can 
only get server operator privs, which don't let me use the KILL command.  
Or maybe there's something else I can put in my silcd.conf to allow me 
router operator privs?

By the way, this is server version 1.0.

I am probably not catching SIGINT as I should in order to shut down 
properly.  I will investigate that.
