AW: [IRCServices] Settings for nicks in nickserv.c

Nice, though I did not know that you have been asked to do so.

To understand, how a nickinfo is built, you only need nickserv.h
and nothing else. I do not see any complexity.

Obviously, you do not understand, how services is working.
Nickname access lists do NOT have anything to do with the
access list of a channel. They are only used, to check whether a
nick has to be killed, if not identified to nickserv.

That the nick is able to join shows clearly that the nojoin setting
you appearently made is mixed up with something else. 
Maybe you mixed the values of leves settings whilst reading from
the database ?

Please do read /nickserv help access
before asking this question.

The usermask is set via the NICK received from the irc server.
The usermask of the last seen is read from the database.

Please do try to understand how services works, before
trying to modify it in a way that nothing works.

You only need the include files, to understand the
structure of *infos. To understand what commands are doing,
you do need to read the helpfiles.
