[IRCServices] Link denied

[M. Sokolewicz]

hi,

I hope I'm not asking at the wrong list with this problem, but here goes...
I have installed UnrealIRCd 3.2, and it works fine. I've also installed 
IRCServices 5.

Now, whenever I start up both the service server and the IRC server (IRC 
server first of course), ircservices.log returns:
[Jun 24 19:59:36 2004] unknown message from server (:server.example.com 
451 PING :You have not registered)
[Jun 24 19:59:36 2004] unknown message from server (ERROR :Link denied 
(No matching link configuration) [@207.44.144.61.8097])
[Jun 24 19:59:36 2004] unknown message from server (ERROR :Closing Link: 
[207.44.144.61] (Link denied (No matching link configuration)))
[Jun 24 19:59:36 2004] Read error from server: Connection reset by peer

I checked the link block in unrealirc.conf, and it LOOKS right (to me), 
but I'll show it anyway
link server.example.com {
   username *;
   hostname 207.44.144.61;
   port 8097;
   hub *;
   password-connect "nopass";
   password-receive "nopass";
   class servers;
  
   options {
       nohostcheck;
   }
};

vs. ircservices.conf:
RemoteServer    server.example.com 6667 "nopass"
LocalAddress    localhost 8097
ServerName    "server.example.com"

As you can see, both SEEM to be linkable (well, they do to me...),
Now, the problem remains, I'm still getting the error in the log files, 
but I have no idea how to resolve this.

Ideas, please?

thank you,
