849bdd6f 11We recently added support for NickServ's ACCESS command to freenode's services. This allows you to define a list of hostmasks from which nickserv will recognise you before you have identified. Logging in as normal is still required, but matching an entry on this list will prevent NickServ from changing your nick if ENFORCE is enabled.

849bdd6f 17There is one caveat to this feature: if you match an entry on your nickname's access list, you will not receive notices from NickServ asking you to identify. This, combined with nickname access lists that were migrated from our old theia database and have lain dormant since, may cause some auto-identify scripts to stop functioning.

849bdd6f 19If you find that this is the case, the simplest workaround is just to remove all entries from your nickname's access list. Use
34876803 20
849bdd6f 21/msg NickServ ACCESS LIST
34876803 22
849bdd6f 23to see all entries, and
34876803 24
849bdd6f 25/msg NickServ ACCESS DEL <hostmask>
34876803 26
849bdd6f 27to remove them.
