IRC Questions

I read through your irc articles, and I am very grateful. I will be setting up a corp irc server in the coming weeks. This server will host channels for our tech support staff, execs in house. We want to prevent users from creating channels at will, query is fine, but we don't want channels all over the place. is this doable in irc?

We are also planning on putting up a web gui that will allow our customers to initiate support requests from a website directly into a "support" channel monitored by our staff. So I don't want end-users creating channels at will either.

Thanks!

Printing

When I log into Ubuntu Linux ver 6.06 as root, I can't print pages from Firefox Web Browser. However, I CAN print when I login as another user, i.e., a non-root user. Is this something to do with file permissions? - Peter
