14 * class {} blocks MUST be specified before anything that uses them. That
15 * means they must be defined before auth {} and before connect {}.
17 * auth {} blocks MUST be specified in order of precedence. The first one
18 * that matches a user will be used. So place spoofs first, then specials,
19 * then general access, then restricted.
