Please note that if you are using Bahamut and ircservices-4.5 then the
ChanServ UNBAN command may not work correctly, due to this bug in Bahamut:

http://ircd-devel.dal.net/jitterbug/jitterbug.cgi/incoming?id=806;expression=del_banid;user=guest

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.*.
