What does the message “Ghosts are not allowed on IRC” or “You are banned/not welcome on this server” or “No authorisation” mean?
You may get either of the first 2 messages when your site or you have been denied access to a particular server. The technical term for it is being “K-lined”. If you find that you have been K-lined from a particular server, you can switch to another one. K-lines for entire hosts are sometimes put up by IRC admins for one of the foll. reasons: * Your site is not close to the server and you’d be better off using a different closer server. * Someone from your site has been running destructive clone processes over IRC, which used forged ids. The only way to counteract them was to k-line the entire domain. If you want the K-line for the host to be lifted, you will need to talk to your system admin and get identd installed at your site (RFC1413, ftp.std.com /src/network/ pidentd-2.2.tar.gz). If you wish to ask why you were K lined from a server, you can write to the server admin for that server. His or her email address can be obtained via the command /admin servername.
