     Services 4.5.23 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.23.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.23.diff.gz

ftp.ircservices.za.net and the mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release fixes the problem recently reported on this list in which
a user could circumvent the nick kill protection for linked nicks.  As a
side effect of this fix, users who are not on the access list for a set of
three or more linked nicks may occasionally be asked to identify again for
some of those nicks even after initially identifying for one of them; this
will happen at most once per nick until the user changes to a nick not in
the linked group or leaves IRC.  This problem will be fixed in version 5.0.
