hello,, when i connect to my server i get the folowing message:

"-NickServ- This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
-
-NickServ- nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise,
-
-NickServ- please choose a different nick."

but why doesn't my nick change to Guest or unknown if i don't identify myself?

Assuming this is Anope then one or more of the following apply:

1) The nick does NOT have kill protection enabled (/ns set kill on and NSDefKill in services.conf)
2) The user receiving the warning to change nick has a mask that appears on the nicks access list (/ns access list and associated NSAddAccessOnReg in services.conf)

In that case see /ns help access for the method to remove it and if you want the access list to default to empty simply comment out NSAddAccessOnReg in services.conf

commenting out NSAddAccessOnReg will only affect those nicks registered *AFTER* you make the change, nicks already registered will still have an access list as they were registered before the change.
