i think this is because your cloak keys are different on different servers? they need to be the same all over your network.

>I have found a bug in your Chanserv unban function.

>(02:36) -ChanServ- Syntax: UNBAN channel
>(02:36) -ChanServ-  
>(02:36) -ChanServ- Tells ChanServ to remove all bans preventing you from
>(02:36) -ChanServ- entering the given channel.  By default, limited to users
>(02:36) -ChanServ- with level 50 (AOP) access and above on the channel.

>"removes all bans preventing me from entering the channel", this is false. However it will hopefully be fixed in next release.

>Here's the Scenario:
>
>Rothgar is admin at netadmin.street-creed.com * DawG of DooM!
>Rothgar is connecting from *@211.XX.XXX.XXX
>
>(02:34) * Rothgar sets mode: +b *!*@211.*
>-=Ban Protection=- You have banned yourself from Channel:#underdog Attempting to UnBan you...
>(02:34) -ChanServ- You have been unbanned from #underdog.
>(02:34) -ChanServ- You have been unbanned from #underdog.
>(02:35) * Rothgar sets mode: -bb *!*@211.* *!*@street-DFC019D.dip.t-dialin.net
>-=Ban Protection=- Ban Protection Successful (*!*@211.* in #underdog)
>
>As you can see Chanserv did not in fact remove bans preventing me from entering the channel. Chanserv needs to lookup vhosts as well as actual addresses. This would include a BNC etc. If someone set a ban on a subnet like that and it included your address you would be denied entry. No smart asses saying how being a netadmin I am not prevented ;)
