AW: [IRCServices] Services 4.5pre0 released

[Yusuf Iskenderoglu]

That sounds strange.
I use SuSE Linux 7.0 and, it works simply perfect.
But I have been told, that Slackware has problems with it...

It might be something library dependent with some different linux distributions.
On the other hand, it is a problem of the ircd, and not services.

But, thanks for this info, it seems, I'll have to do more coding into the ircd.

Regards;
yusuf

Bahamut's support for SVSMODE -b only works by chance on FreeBSD, and fails
on Linux and probably other platforms.  The result is that you see the ban
being lifted but in reality it is still there.

If you don't mind editing the code of your ircd then a quick fix is very
simple, just read the above bug report.

That also explains why Dalnet's own ChanServ UNBAN command has stopped
working for users of twisted.* and tsunami.*.
