No it doesn't.  There isn't an option to do that.  It stops it
from resolving the hosts in the config file during startup, to
speed things up a little.

Maybe we really should make an option to disable the resolver.

If you get on IRC, does it show your "hostname" with an ip
address or with a name?  I really think you mean that you always
show up with the IP address because you don't have a working
nameserver to resolve it for you.

It should be /usr/local/var/log/ircd/ of course.  If ircd has
permission to create a file there, it will do so, if it doesn't
exist already.

iauth.log is a debug log too, which it should create itself.

What you want to create are users, rejects, opers and auth, in
that same directory.
