Oper Issues?

[Daniel Joos]

I am new to ircd-hybrid. I have the server up and running, BUT, I cannot
get it to work with the oper command. Everytime I execute the command I
get the message:

---> "Only few of mere mortals may try to enter the twilight zone" <---

I have tried it with the original configuration of:

operator {
        user="danj";
        name="danj@*.dsl.speakeasy.net";
        password="<password removed>";
        class="opers";
        global_kill=yes;
        kline=yes;
        unkline=yes;
        gline=yes;
        die=yes;
        rehash=yes;
        admin=yes;
};

And I have also tried it like this:

operator {
        user=danj;
        name=danj@*.dsl.speakeasy.net;
        password=<password removed>;
        class=opers;
        global_kill=yes;
        kline=yes;
        unkline=yes;
        gline=yes;
        die=yes;
        rehash=yes;
        admin=yes;
};

Could someone please give me a little guidance on this? Thanks
