  Hi !

  It's me again with another (probably stupid) question:
  I have installed the irc-2.9.1.16 port from the FreeBSD port collection
and, after tweaking a bit the ircd.inf to kick it online, I faced a minor
problem: doing a "/list" while logged in shows 8 channels starting with
'&':

&LOCAL		1
&HASH		1
&SERVERS	1
&NUMERICS	1
&CHANNEL	1
&KILLS		1
&NOTICES	1
&ERRORS		1

  What do these channels stand for and can I hide them ? Any links to
related documentation/FAQs are appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.
