INSTALL -file
(http://svn.ircd-hybrid.org:8000/viewcvs.cgi/ircd-hybrid/INSTALL?rev=577&view=markup)
says you at part 6 that you should touch those files if you want to
enable those logs.

So if you want to enable all logs you should type this command on
ircd/logs-directory: touch userlog operlog operlog kill kline gline
