  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>What actually causes this?  I'm not familiar with this problem, could
  35 </I>&gt;<i>someone explain?
  36 </I>
  37      If someone takes a guest nick that Services then tries to assign to a
  38 user with SVSNICK, the ircd will send a KILL for the SVSNICK, but Services
  39 interprets that as a KILL for the old user, who then disappears from the
  40 internal user list.  Since Services won't do anything with users who aren't
  41 on the internal list (since it doesn't have anywhere to store the info),
  42 they never get killed/ghosted, deopped, etc.

  50 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Also, it has been reported and confirmed that failure to install Q:lines
  51 </I>&gt;<i>on
  52 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> all of your servers when nick changing (NSForceNickChange) is in use can
  53 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> allow users to escape Services' notice and use others' nicks without fear
  54 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> of retaliation via nick kills or the GHOST command.  A workaround is being
  55 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> worked on for version 5.0; in the meantime, make sure you have Q:lines
  56 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> installed on all of your servers for &quot;Guest*&quot; (or whatever you use for
  57 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> guest nicks).
