Problems with /OPER

[Ray Frush <frush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm installing ircd behind our firewall for stand-alone operation, and 
have been having problems gaining server operator privelages.

Using the following ircd.conf file:

A:Fort Collins:Ray Frush:frush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -
M:TC.ftc.agilent.com::Technical Computing:7000
P:*:::6667
Y:1:300:0:100:40000:0.0:0.0
I:*@*::*@*::1
# The next line contains a crypted password
O:*@ale.ftc.agilent.com:HOwtJiJjPOan2:phred::1


I'm using X-Chat to connect to the server.
When I try the command: /OPER passwd phred
I get the response:  No O-lines for your host

As you can guess, I've tried a few incantations all afternoon, and have 
yet to figure this out.  

Could someone point me in the right direction.  (I've already read most 
of irchelp.org)
